UC or undercover operations are conducted primarily for intelligence and evidence gathering. One area that many don’t consider is counter surveillance processes. These are covert activities conducted to maintain security and to prevent theft and other criminal activities. If a corporate executive thinks he is being followed, stalked or surveilled a counter-surveillance procedure should be instigated. Part of counter-surveillance is to teach the client how to recognize he has a ‘tail’, someone watching and following him. A couple of things to initiate a counter-surveillance:

• Domestic. You’re be followed because a spouse expects that you are having an affair, your parents suspect chemical use and or dependence or perhaps theft.
