Surveillance Tips

 
Information Equals Success
The best way to avoid problems on surveillance is to know about them beforehand. Current, descriptive and thorough information obtained about a claimant before a surveillance greatly increases the effectiveness of the investigator on the scene.  
 
Pre-Surveillance
Pre-Surveillance preparation can include obtaining the claimant's registered vehicle's and driver's history, verifying the claimant's address, obtaining database information and conducting a pre-surveillance drive-by.
 
Two Full Days
Two full days of surveillance are recommended to determine if a claimant is working or physically active.  
 
Surveillance Problems

As a buyer of surveillance services, you should understand that there are four things that can go wrong:

  • Claimant is not active

  • Surveillance loses claimant

  • Surveillance follows wrong person

  • Surveillance is detected  

Surveillance Teams

Two-person surveillance teams increase success by reducing the chances of losing the claimant or being detected. Consider using surveillance teams when you have:

  • Suspicious claimants

  • Crowded areas - downtown

  • Rural areas  

Surveillance is a Specialty
Surveillance is a specialized field within the investigations industry. Make sure that your surveillance investigator is licensed, insured, adequately trained, experienced, properly equipped, and knows the laws regarding the claimants reasonable expectation of privacy, trespassing and evidence handling.
