surveillance

Executive Investigations specialise in surveillance, as a result, all our surveillance operators are expertly trained and fully licensed. At Executive Investigations, our operatives come from all walks of life including, Commonwealth Agencies, Intelligence Officers, Military and Law Enforcement. Our male & female staff are constantly training to fine tune skills in Surveillance methods and other associated skills. Our Canberra team service the ACT, NSW South Coast down to the Victorian boarder and far South West NSW.

The surveillance techniques practiced by our professional staff of minimize the chance of detection by a subject. Procedures have been established in case of discovery or suspicion, which enable the investigator to diffuse the situation effectively and transfer from the situation to avoid any further suspicion or confrontation. Strategies will then be re-evaluated and the client fully briefed on the situation.

During an investigation, Executive Investigations staff will not include personal opinions in reports and will only state facts and observations. If personal opinions are required by the client these will be clearly separated from facts and only relevant information will be included in reports.

Surveillance fees start at $55.00 + GST per hour and $0.65 + GST per km plus miscellaneous expenses. For non corporate clients, these costs are deducted from a required $250 advance retainer, the client is updated on a regular basis, and a full written report provided on completion of the operation. A minimum of 3 hrs is required per surveillance shift.

Types Of Surveillance
There are two general types of surveillance — mobile and fixed. Mobile surveillance can be conducted by foot or vehicle and in most cases a combination of the two; dependent on the subject's movement. Fixed surveillance is used when the subject is stationary or when all the essential information can be gathered in a single location.

Prior to determining what type of surveillance is to be used, the objective of the surveillance should be to properly identify the person, place or thing that is to be placed under surveillance; to complete a thorough and cautious, reconnaissance of the area from which the surveillance is to be conducted in, and to trace and locate the person, place or thing;

Mobile Surveillance — When at all possible, operatives should be familiar with the area in which they are going to be operating in. Individuals should be attired to fit their surroundings and vehicles should be "plain" by their nature exclusive of distinctive markings. License plates should also correspond to the locale. The vehicles as well as each person, should have ample communication devices, i.e. secure radios and or cellular telephones. The amount of people or vehicles used should be determined on a case-by-case basis, but a good rule to follow is in congested or city-type surroundings two operatives/vehicle, in small and more suburban type surroundings, one operator is normal cost effective.

Fixed Surveillance — Following the same guidelines as that for a mobile surveillance, persons assigned to conduct a fixed surveillance should be familiar with the area in which they are going to operate which again will determine the type, number and kind of individuals to be used. In a fixed surveillance, it is the person, place or thing that remains stationary and is under observation.
