Field investigation techniques - monitoring and surveillance
Fixed/local surveillance
- Discreet way, to know their movements and connections.
- Used by private detectives. Policemen and also by criminals. The thieves and hijackers use this type of
surveillance, to know the habits & movements of the residents of the place where they intend to operate, &
avoid surprises by residents or police officers during the action. Therefore, during a surveillance the
detective must take special care not to draw attention and not be very noticed.
- There is a possibility that local residents or traders confuse you with a criminal and call the police to
intervene.
- The surveillance can be used to locate people, to arrest criminals, to catch an unfaithful husband or wife, to
know the connection and movement of people, to observe people meeting, to avoid the practice of crimes
and in a general way, to obtain evidence to solve an investigation.
To confuse yourself with others, u can use
- Disguises, like that of beggar or drunk;
- Place a small street vendor near the place to be observed (first check if the place is not supervised by the
city hall, to avoid confrontations with tax officials and get the attention of third parties);
- Use vehicle with film in the glasses to not be seen from the outside:

2CIIA - Basic Private Detective Course Short
Note
- Use an assistant when making the night surveillance and pretend to be dating (first check if the place has
high rates of robbery and vehicle assaults not to be surprised by a car thief, and be very careful with the
movement of the people around).
- When the surveillance is run from inside buildings or vehicles a little far from the place, binoculars,
camcorders, zoom cameras or hidden remote monitoring cameras can be great helpers.
- Never die target attention,
Mobile surveillance
- Wear non-attracting costumes, with neutral colors during the day and dark at night;
- Modifications in overall appearance while following the suspect, such as the sweater pull (wear a button-up
shirt over a knit sweater) or jacket, dark-eyed cap;
- Keep safe distance not to be seen by the investigated, taking care not to lose sight of it in the crowd;
- Always keep the suspect in your sights and do not pay attention to anything that goes around and does not
concern you;
- In case of help from an assistant use walk talk radios and headphones to avoid being noticed.
Attention, because normally when the investigated one suspects that it is being followed can use some evasive
maneuvers or for confirmation, like:
- Sudden stop; - Pretend tying the laces shoes, to look sideways
- Turn suddenly and start walking in the opposite or backwards;
direction to what was going; - Turn entire blocks and return to the same place;
- Pretend to be looking at window displays and - Repeatedly change the walk speed, decreasing
take advantage of them as a mirror (you can or increasing the rhythm;
also use this feature to not attract attention); - Enter suddenness in buses, trains or subway,
- Stop by turning a corner, to see if someone will when these are already leaving;
come in the same direction; - When inside buses, trains or subways leave
- Enter vehicles, such as taxis and buses, and get suddenly when the doors are already closing.
off soon;
-
Important: if the target acts in one or more ways, it is because he may have noticed that he is being followed. So
if you are sure the target knows he is being followed give up on the follow up and try another day by modifying
their appearance or using more helpers.

The serveillance with automobiles

Some important techniques when following a car

- In roads of little movement try to stay a good distance from the investigated;
- In places of intense traffic, try to position yourself behind other vehicles whenever possible, taking care
not to lose sight of it;
- Be careful not to allow more than two vehicles to be positioned between you and the track so as not to
lose sight of it or get stuck in a red light;
- Always be alert when the investigator is arriving at traffic signals (if he is accelerating in an eventual
yellow signal or it will stop) and repeat the maneuver trying not to get his attention;
Sources of information and means of information

- Much of the information for the elaboration of a researcher's personal profile is obtained through private
sources, such as: statements from people directly or indirectly related to him, such as parents, relatives,
neighbors, friends, girlfriends or spouses (including former) employers ( current or former),
employees or former employees, co-workers, partners or former partners, suppliers, customers,
creditors, debtors, landlords, districts. Etc. Anyway, all those who maintain or have maintained personal
or commercial relations with the investigated.
- There are also public information sources, very useful in the prepatation of dossiers and location of
debtors, such as credit protection services, cartridges, transit institutions, telephone operators (also
water, gas light, energy), courts of justice, miscellaneous personal information websites. On the

| www.free-detective-course.com 2
2CIIA - Basic Private Detective Course Short
Note
internet you can easily get such information through free or some paid websites, specializing in personal
and business registration information. Use google in your country to locate them.

Usually the complete dossier application about a person is requested by:

-> medium and large companies that want to hire an employee to position of confidence;
-> medium and large companies that want to know more about their competitors;
-> medium and large companies to confirm information about other companies and their partners, with which
they intend to maintain business;
-> politicians who want to find out about their opponents;
-> families who want to check the background of their boyfriends, fiances or future husbands;
-> middle and upper class families, who are hiring domestic servants, nannies, private drivers, bodyguards, etc.
Who will be part of the intimacy and will have access to personal assets and information of that family;
-> companies that admit new partners or shareholders;
-> luxury real estate agents;
-> lawyers, for use in judicial purposes, processes;
Location of disappeared persons, foragons and debtors

Voluntary - when the person decides to "disappear on their own" without giving explanation to anyone. They
can be for various reasons, for example: problems of family relationship, problems of love, threats,
embarrassment of some embarrassing fact recently occurred, debts, etc.
Involuntary - when the disappeared person is a victim of acts of third parties or carriers of some ilness. They
include disappearances due to accidents (hitches, disasters), kidnappings, murders, rapes followed by death,
sudden illness (heart attack, epilepsy, amnesia), drunkenness, excessive use of drugs, etc.
In these cases, in addition to a recent photograph, it is essential that clients provide as much information as
possible, such as:
- Full name - Name, telephone and / or address of parents,
- Number of documents; relatives, friends, boyfriends;
- Profession or activity in which you worked - Recent photos and / or complete physical
- Economic situation; description;
- If you own real estate and where; - Psychological description and character of the
- If you have credit cards and bank account; person to be located (depressed; extroverted;
- Last address and / or residential, commercial temperamental; addictions, mainly drugs;
or cellular telephone; psychological deviations, diseases, etc.);
- Places i used to attend; - Dental record, if any, for eventual recognition of
- Vehicle brands, models and license plates; corpse through the dental arch;
- If you had enemies or disaffected, etc.
-
Disappearance of the elderly or mentally ill.

- At first try to know if the disappeared used to - If someone knew where he was going at the time of
walk alone in the streets; the disappearance;
- If he had friends; - If he had any type of seizures or seizures (epilepsy,
- If he had family relationship problems; fainting, amnesia, sudden aggression, etc.);
- The places where he used to go; - If he has disappeared before and where it was
- If used to take with him documents and phone / located;
home address in the wallet; - Physical description;
- If he took clothes or other belongings - Description of the clothes he wore the last time he
was seen, etc.
Start the searches, taking a recent photograph, by public hospitals, police stations, morgue and hostels in the
region where the missing person lived and used to frequent. If the search proves negative, make new searches in
the same area, always with the photo, interrogating people who usually work in the streets, such as military
police, municipal guards, postmen, delivery agents, urban cleaning agents and even beggars and street dwellers.

Note
Teens who do not maintain a good family relationship;
- In addition to the above, try to check:
- If the missing person had a boyfriend;
- If he studied, find out who his friends were at school.
- Ask everyone about the possible whereabouts.
- Check social network profiles of the disappeared and if possible of close friends
It is also important to raise the moral and psychological profile of the disappeared, as well as possible
involvement with bandits, drug addicts, petty thefts, gangs of adolescents, tendency to prostitution, possible
pregnancy, etc.
Relatives or friends that your clients have known for some time and would like to meet them again
in fact this is not a case of disappearance, but only the location of a certain person that your client knew. Ask for
as much information as possible, such as:
- Cities where you lived and where you possibly live; - Professional activity and companies where you
- Last known address and on what date; worked;
- If you were single, married (wife's name), had - If you have an upper course (look in the organ of
children; the class), etc.
- Addresses and telephones of friends or relatives
known;
an excellent start to such investigations is through the internet on the social networks and public information
sites we mentioned earlier. Search for one's own, relatives or surname, if it is not a common surname.
Try to make contact with friends, in the companies where the person to be located worked and with neighbors in
the last place where he / she resided.
Location of debtors
the location of debtors is almost always very time consuming. Usually debtors are hiding from their creditors,
and depending on the values of the debts, they can change state or even leave the country.
- First of all, the detective must investigate the credit agencies and collection actions in court, to verify the
amount of debt of the person to be located. Try to locate the lenders for information exchange. The
greater the debt, the greater the difficulty for its location. In cases where the debtor is a person
admittedly honest and suitable, but due to financial problems could not pay off the debts, the chances of
locating are greater.
- On the contrary, in cases where the debtor is not a person of good character, the difficulty will be much
greater (and also more risky) for its location.
- Never believe in the information of relatives by telephone. Always try to do errands at the addresses
provided by your client and interrogate neighbors, friends, co- workers and others. Work preferably in
disguise and never identify yourself as a detective. Use all the sources of information that we have
already studied in this booklet, in an attempt to locate the debtor.
Basic principles of an observation
Its just a complete description of the figure, but the observer does not always know or has time to do so. Here we
have a small table of characteristics that must be observed, aiming at the future recognition of a person
(remember that the detective must be a great physiognomist):
-> general aspects: physique, height, clothing, race, age.
-> detailed aspects: biotype, hair, eye color, nose types, mustache, mouth, beard, etc.
-> private signs: use of glasses or private sign, tattoos, defects, scarring or stains.
therefore, at first, in an embarrassing situation or in any other situation, especially of assault or testimony of a
crime, we must direct our observation to these basic points: general aspects, detailed aspects and particular signs,
and the same characteristics must be requested in the interrogations made by the detectives.
Investigations of conjugal/marital infidelity
- Your goal is to photograph or film the person investigated in the act of adultery or betrayal. But during the
surveillance and follow-ups you should also do some filming to prove to your client that you are actually
working on the case, as monitoring may result in a negative result for infidelity, and your client may
question whether you actually monitored them as they should.

| www.free-detective-course.com 4
2CIIA - Basic Private Detective Course Short
Note
- Usually, 90% of the suspicions are confirmed and the flagrant occurs between 3 and 5 days after the
investigations began. Usually most take place on weekends (from friday to sunday). You can propose to
your client between 5 and 7 days of monitoring, to charge a fixed value independent of the time of follow-
up, that is if you confirm and confirm the suspicions on the 2nd or 3rd day, deliver the photos / movies with
the final report, receive the remainder of the combined amount and terminates the service.
- Be discreet and try to work with the help of an assistant. Put into practice what you have learned in the topics
of monitoring and fixed monitoring, with cars, photography and films.
Tips to detect possible betrayal

Usually men betray more than women and for different reasons. However the woman looks for another man
when she feels needy and alone in the conviviality with the partner. But there are various attitudes and
symptoms where it is possible to know if your client is being betrayed. There is no perfect liar. Every human
being leaves a clue when there is a clandestine relationship. Small details that should be carefully observed
regarding the partner's behavior, which fatally changes when one is being unfaithful.
Ask your client about the following signs:
1 - when the phone bills, cell phone bills or extracts arrive, he always hides or stores them in his folder.
Or worse: you do not see any bill because he transferred them to his work address ... This is to hide possible
expenses with cell phone calls or with credit cards in restaurants, motels, gifts for the lover.
2 - he has a salary or income that has always been enough for a good standard of living, but suddenly, he
starts to control the money from home expenses, cut expenses, get on the overdraft .... Remember: lover is
expense!
3 - he has never been vain, but lately he has been flawless, dyeing the white hairs of his hair, entering the
gym, and buying new clothes. You already accept him the way he is, but for the lover he needs to look younger
and more attractive.
4 - he does not put the car, the house, the bills, nothing, in his name, asks to remove the phone from the
list ... Its an old affair. He is afraid that the lover will discover, through his name, the address of his residence,
sometimes the lover does not even know that he is married, and in others, he is afraid that a lover, recently
abandoned by him, appears in his home and tell you everything for revenge.
5 – he never liked football or fishing. Suddenly he started playing or fishing every weekend. Check if the
clothing worn on "soccer" is dirty or smelly, including socks. In the case of the fishery, try to smell his hands
when he returns, because he may have bought the fish in the market, and the smell of fish takes time to leave.
Investigate on your own
1 - in the middle of a conversation, try to say that a friend hired a detective and discovered that her
husband was cheating on her. Analyze the reaction and look directly into his eyes. If he has a lover, he will be
nervous immediately turn his face and no longer look into his eyes.
2 - calculate more or less the distance between your home and his work. Without him noticing, check the
speedometer of the car and see if the mileage is matching or if it is running more than normal.
3 - pay attention to the work routine and see if he starts leaving home earlier than usual, making excuses
for late nights, or going out on weekends claiming work appointments or that he was with friends. Constant
business trips, which were previously uncommon, are also a sign of possible marital betrayal.
4 – when he is asleep or in the shower, check the cell phone for the calls made and received. Do this for
a week and list the phones that appear the most, including the times. Then call the numbers you do not know
(preferably from a pay phone) and see if any woman answers. If they are all erased then be suspicious.
5 – also check the sms and whatsapp message boxes sent and received.
6 – pay attention if he shuts off the cell phone when he comes home or leaves the vibracall and does not
get rid of it even when going to the bathroom. If the cell phone has password suspicious even more ...
7 – try checking his computer or laptop history for visited sites, especially for emails, which you did not
even know he had. Be wary if he always erases the history
Infiltration in business (disguised work)
Initial procedure
Not always the agent to be infiltrated will work directly with the suspicious persons or department. In
many cases the agent to be infiltrated can also be planted as a janitor, driver, office boy and etc. As we have said

| www.free-detective-course.com 5
2CIIA - Basic Private Detective Course Short
Note
before, each case must be analyzed together with the client to establish the best "function" that the agent must
perform in the company during the diligences.
Another concern should be with the duration of the service expressed in the contract. On average, a case
of this nature is solved around 30 days, but there are cases that may take up to a few months. This depends a lot
on the physical size of the company and the number of employees it has. So do not commit yourself to any other
case in this period.
Charge your client according your time and the case importance for him. Most of the time the amount
the client pays to the detective is less than the loss he had previously had and will now no longer have.
In some cases it will be necessary to use more than one detective or agent that must be infiltrated in the
company. As we said before, this depends on the size of the company and the number of sectors to be
investigated. Take this expense into account before finalizing the price for the service.
We present below some information and techniques that will be very useful to private detectives who
intend to work disguised in infiltration works:
1 - usually who hires the professional detective is the owner, president, manager or a director of the
company;
2 - during the first contacts, when you will be negotiating the contract and receiving the information
from the case, never attend the client's company. Always check in your office or neutral location. This so that
you do not take the risk of being seen with your client before being "planted" in the company and subsequently
being recognized by some employee;
3 - ask your client for total secrecy. The fewer people who know their true role in the company, the less
the risk of leakage, the better for the success of the job and also for your own safety; 4 - when starting your
"work" in disguise at the company, never talk directly to the person who hired you (unless your role requires it).
Both have to pretend that they do not know each other to avoid generating suspicion. Establish previously places
and ways to send your report, which may be weekly;
5 - your admission to the company must follow the entire registration process that an ordinary employee
would have to follow, ie, the agent must present all the documents required by the company in the function in
which they will perform undercover (if it is a company's usual). This is necessary so as not to generate distrust of
other employees. If possible, present a proof of residence with a different address than your own (use a friend or
relative of preference with an address in a nonexistent or difficult location);
6 - usually your client already has clues or distrusts of a certain person, group of people or a sector of the
company where the problems occur. The agent must be planted in that sector to have constant contact with the
suspects, always seeking to gradually gain their trust and friendship;
7 - if applicable, ask your client for permission to monitor computers (depending on the circumstances)
and / or bug the suspects' telephones or extensions. If there is a pabx system in place, ask your client to have a
technician from the maintenance company so that both can install the equipment on an appropriate day and time;
8 - with respect to colleagues, the agent should speak, act and dress like other suspected officials. You
will have to be a good actor to know how to represent your role convincingly;
9 - remember that the agent will actually have to work on the function for which it was planted and will
certainly have a boss or supervisor who will charge him of his assignments, as he will not know that it is an
agent infiltrated;
10 - speak little at first and listen very much. Identify closed groups and try to get close to them and
install hidden recorders wherever they gather. Stay alert and observe in detail everything that goes on around
you;
11 - try to understand how the company works, how its sectors interact and what each employee does
not only in the suspect sector, but throughout the company;
12 - it is important for the agent to befriend the largest number of people in the workplace and gain their
trust. Outings for drinking or playing football are also great for establishing friendships and increasing
confidence;
13 - never take any co-worker to your home or to a place where you can later be identified or located.
Also, do not let them see your car plate or have your personal cell phone number;
14 - complain with colleagues, whenever possible, about the lack of money and your debts. In many
cases, the agent, after get in, ends up being invited to participate in schemes, facilitating their work;

| www.free-detective-course.com 6
2CIIA - Basic Private Detective Course Short
Note
15 - be very careful about romances or friendships that can be formed. Always remember your true
mission and never let yourself be tempted when you discover the illegal scheme;
16 - never participate in the flagrant to identify the culprits or to arrest them, since in many cases they
are gangs formed by people that can be dangerous or vengeful.
17 - after unmasking the guilty, and their client or the police give the flagrant, the agent should continue
working normally in the company for at least one more week, so that they do not have suspicion about him. Then
you resign from the company claiming personal problems terminating the work contract, or for your client to
dismiss you for any reason;
18 - if you (or your agent) have already been placed in the "schema" and your presence is essential to the
flagrant or imprisonment of those involved you should normally participate and eventually you may even be
arrested with the others. Of course, you and your client must first set up the flagrant scheme with the police, who
should be advised that you are a secret agent of the company and should not suffer sanctions:
19 - for other employees who may be arrested with you or your agent, it may be said, "i have
knowledge" or "i have a great lawyer" to justify your immediate release from jail. Unfortunately, there is a great
possibility that they may distrust their participation as an informant. Therefore the importance of presenting false
proof of residence and also the compliance with items 5, 13 and 16 above;
20 - the flagrant may or may not be filmed with hidden cameras, which must be installed in the place one
or two days before the combined date for the action. This expense must be borne by the company that contracted
it. You can install the equipment yourself if you are prepared for such an assignment, which is actually quite
simple;
21 - once the service is finished, try not to attend the company anymore and forget the possible
friendships you may have done. Some calls made from public telephones will be enough to sporadic contacts,
lest recaim suspicions.

How to form prices for services

in the cases of confirmation of adultery, which are the great majority of the services requested, the average term
for their resolution is 5 calendar days.
you can also close a final price with your client and give a maximum deadline for the settlement of the
case. For example: you charge your client us$ 1,000 for 5 days of monitoring for proof of marital infidelity
(average us$ 200 / day) and receive 50% advance (us$ 500).
if you prove the infidelity on the 2nd or 3rd day (it is fairly common cases on the first day ...) Your work will be
completed and will not need to be monitored on other days, as the purpose of the contract has been reached (this

| www.free-detective-course.com 8
2CIIA - Basic Private Detective Course Short
Note
should be clearly stated in the contract). You should prepare a report for your client and deliver it along with the
photos / footage and immediately receive the rest of the combined value. In cases of people locations,
infiltrations and dossiers, which are more time consuming, you must provide the final price with a lower daily
rate and charge 50% of the down payment. Usually in the cases of locating people the rest is charged only in case
of location success. There are several other types of cases where you can act. In order to form prices always take
into consideration the following factors:
1 - the duration of the service to be executed;
2 - the location, time, hours and the conditions where the work will be carried out; the expenses you will have in
case (your and the auxiliaries if you have);
3 - the social, economic and financial profile of your client;
4 - the importance (personal or financial) for your client in the success of the case;
5 - for customers abroad, in services to be made in your country, it is usually charged between 25 and 50% more,
due to differences in exchange, income and cost of living. The payment in this case is always made in advance;
in cases where you require auxiliary, long displacement, travel, payment of taxes or tip, informal and any extra
expenses, be sure to inform them in advance so that they are not taken by surprise or refuse to assume them.
Always present your budget in writing, and if approved, make a basic 2-way agreement detailing the service to
be performed, conditions, locations, deadlines and value.
