   4 Day intense Level 3 Foot & Mobile Surveillance


HSI Group hosts 4 day intensive Level 3 surveillance training courses to the security industry, government enforcement
agencies and specialist military units. In partnership with ISS Training Ltd which was Formed in 1990, and who are the longest
established surveillance training company in the United Kingdom.

The Company Director is Peter Jenkins, the author of surveillance training books 'Covert Surveillance' and 'Advanced
Surveillance'. ISS training staff are former regular military intelligence, special forces and police surveillance instructors who
have operated and taught throughout Europe and America to a government level.

Skills are taught which are necessary for gathering evidence by covert means and to become a proficient surveillance operator.
We teach how to carry out surveillance on foot, by vehicle and by static point. These skills are then put into practice by carrying
out supervised surveillance exercises. The training is further enhanced with lessons on legal issues in relation to evidence
gathering, photography and vehicle tracking.

This course includes training exercises that are realistic, structured and controlled to gain the most benefit for the student. All
equipment such as tracking, covert radios, and cameras are supplied. We normally limit this course to a maximum of nine
application selected students. Even though this course is focusing on surveillance for the specialists, any one that is in a
position of investigations in insurance fraud, crimes as well as information gathering can utilize these skills to better secure
case evidenced.
