Intelligence Gathering, Clandestine
Behavior and Surveillance Techniques
Training Goals and Objectives
The goal of the training program is
to prepare the sworn law enforcement officer, investigator, or military
operatives to understand the behavior, techniques modus operandi and
tactics of clandestine operators.
The course will be focused on
providing information and techniques to those involved in the many
facets of VIP protection personnel, surveillance / counter surveillance,
and undercover operations.
Training Audience, Format, and
Content
This course is intended for various
levels of experienced sworn law enforcement officers, general /
specialized narcotic investigators, military, VIP protection, and
prosecutorial entities. Students will learn
surveillance and intelligence survival
tools and recognition techniques, and recognize indicators of clandestine activity being committed against them during their normal operations.
Methods will be learned on carrying out measures to prevent
such acts.
This course is most successful when
taught and received with audiences of 50 officers or fewer, but has been
given in groups of 100 or more with successful reviews. The smaller groups
enable officers to have more direct dialog with the instructor and the
other students.
This is four-day course. The course
is designed to be conducted from 0830 to 2330 hours daily.
NOTE: This course is labor / time
intense! This program is physically and psychologically
challenging. Instructional content requires a large quantity of practical
application learning. A typical “on your feet” training and instruction day
will be from 0830 - 2330 hours. [15-hour work days]
