Surveillance Operations

Professional, lawful surveillance and evidence gathering by experienced operatives across the UK

What Are Surveillance Operations?

Surveillance operations involve the lawful observation and recording of individuals or locations to gather factual evidence. In the private sector, this is used to verify claims, document activities, and obtain evidence for civil or insurance matters. Our operatives conduct surveillance in accordance with UK law, using appropriate methods and professional-grade equipment. Evidence is gathered to court-ready standards, with full chain of custody documentation.

Who This Service Is For

This service is available to insurance companies investigating claims, solicitors gathering evidence for civil proceedings, businesses investigating suspected misconduct, and individuals with legitimate civil matters requiring evidence. We do not conduct surveillance for purposes that are unlawful, harassing, or disproportionate. All instructions are assessed for legitimacy and proportionality before acceptance.

What This Service Covers

  • Static observation from fixed positions
  • Mobile surveillance and vehicle follows
  • Video and photographic evidence capture
  • Activity pattern documentation
  • Covert observations in public spaces
  • Multi-operative deployments for complex cases
  • Counter-surveillance awareness
  • Timestamped evidence logs and reports

Legal and Compliance Context

All surveillance is conducted in compliance with UK law, including the Human Rights Act 1998 (particularly Article 8—right to privacy), the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, the Data Protection Act 2018, and UK GDPR. We do not conduct surveillance in private spaces, use unlawful tracking devices, or engage in activities that would constitute stalking or harassment.

Our operatives are trained in legal boundaries and understand proportionality requirements. Evidence is gathered ethically and is suitable for use in court proceedings, tribunals, and regulatory hearings.

How the Service Is Delivered

Operations begin with a detailed briefing to understand objectives, background, and any known patterns of the subject. We assess whether surveillance is proportionate and lawful for the stated purpose. Operations are then planned with appropriate resources—single or multiple operatives, vehicle or foot deployment. During deployment, operatives maintain contact with a coordination point. Live updates can be provided as required. Following completion, evidence is processed and compiled into a comprehensive report with supporting media.
