We offer 3 surveillance imagery courses for UK law enforcement

A 5-day course which is delivered at your location using your stills cameras thus saving money and maximising learning. It will take a complete novice to a competent surveillance imagery operator on stills cameras capable of obtaining evidential quality imagery in both daytime and night-time. This course has been widely delivered and regularly updated since it was first developed in 2006 specifically for a regional counter-terrorist team.

A 3-day course using hand-held video cameras, bag and body-worn cameras and covert drop cameras, again delivered at your location. This is aimed at operators who shy away from the technicality of stills cameras, who currently don’t obtain any imagery whilst on surveillance and who need a helping hand to increase their productivity. The kit we use is from The Covert Group; it is made in the UK, is absolutely brilliant and comes at a very sensible price.

A 2-day refresher course aimed at operators on a surveillance team who want to brush up their skills and techniques. Delivered at your location using your cameras it can be tuned to your exact requirements. If, for example, the team want to improve their imaging at night we will devise an agreed programme and deliver this with constant coaching and assessment to ensure that the correct learning is taking place. We will follow this by running through all student images and analysing them where appropriate so that the learning can be identified and replicated under operational conditions. This image analysis is a trademark of all 3 courses and ensures continual professional development.
