Protective Surveillance - Nemesis Intelligence teams will monitor the movements of the Subject 24/7 in order to direct the QRF onto the said person/s in the event of hostile activity. They will also monitor third party activity in order to discern the source and level of threat of any hostile intent.
This is a form of counter surveillance (a set of drills conducted by specially trained operators to confirm and identify the existence of hostile surveillance activity against a briefed individual); whereas counter surveillance is a set of drills carried out by an individual to avoid or discern surveillance activity against them or those close to them. The type of protective surveillance used will be dependent upon the age and character of the Subject and will be decided by the client in close cooperation with the Operations Director after an in-depth threat and ground appreciation. |

What is Surveillance?
Surveillance is to observe a person/s, place or object in order to obtain information (Intelligence normally in the form of legally admissible evidence). This evidence can be in the form of photography or video footage - although sometimes the client is happy with a verbal assessment. The evidence relates to the organisation or person/s that are the focus of the surveillance, without alerting the Subject or a third party to the fact. The need to avoid alerting the Target organisation or Subject is obvious but it is equally important to avoid alerting a third party or parties as they could compromise the operation and inform the subject or tell others thereby making the continuance of the task extremely difficult.
Covert surveillance is normally conducted by a team of specially trained operators [not operatives] consisting of a Tango [covert van, green or urban observation post, drones, tracker devices, remoted video device etc], Depending on the task size operationally it may require 2 to 10 X Wheels (car drivers) and - in built up areas - a Motorcyclist, each of whom are kitted out with covert cameras and radios. Covert surveillance can be used for a variety of purposes; namely: fidelity enquiries, general litigation and in particular personal injury defence cases, theft investigations and asset location and protective surveillance.

What is the aim of Protective Surveillance?
Protective surveillance differs from the other forms in that in addition to observing a person or group of persons, the team must be prepared to either protect the organisation or individual/s concerned in the event of hostile activity directed at the Subject; or, direct a dedicated QRF [Quick Reaction Force] to secure the Subject. Protective surveillance is effectively a monitored early warning system used to protect an individual or individuals against whom there is a known or possible threat.
The threat may be direct, as in physical attack or kidnap, or indirect, as in misjudged or malign advice by those close to the Subject. Protective Surveillance has over the last thirty years become a much more effective tool for organisations and clients. Covert operators will be working in undercover rolls within the daily operations of a corporate client or individual, this can deliver early warning signals to an event that can massively reduce the threat and risk and in many cases has proven to be much more successful than general Body guarding to manage the risk.
This type of threat can be very dangerous particularly when the Subject lacks the ability to discern danger for themselves or is vulnerable to the influence of others as in the case intense fast acting events or of drug or alcohol users. In these cases, protective surveillance would provide information which will allow the client to modify the Subject’s lifestyle or, in the event of an emergency, such as an overdose, provide lifesaving assistance.

Types of Protective Surveillance -
Protective surveillance can be either overt (the Subject is briefed and fully aware of the surveillance screen and its operating procedures) or covert (the Subject is not aware of the existence of the surveillance team). In both cases the surveillance team operate covertly so as not to alert members of the public or a hostile surveillance team to the fact.
It is suggested that covert protective surveillance be used to monitor a minor or nervous Subject who is unaware of the threat to them, who may, by their actions, compromise the surveillance team looking after them. Conversely, overt protective surveillance may be used to monitor a Subject that needs to know that they are not alone and that procedures and assets are in place to secure them in the event of hostile activity.
Nemesis Intelligence has decades of experience in Protective Surveillance deployed all across Britain and Europe.
