Service Details

Established by a former Metropolitan Police Detective Sergeant with 30 years’ experience in investigations, major events and a covert surveillance specialist having worked in Scotland Yards Anti-Terrorist Branch, The Flying Squad and Dedicated Surveillance Wing. 

Our motto ‘Excellence Through Experience’ tells you that we can be trusted with whatever operation you are planning.

Covert Surveillance

Deploying only government trained, former covert specialists we are experts at turning intelligence and suspicion into actionable evidence. Covering static, mobile, rural and technical aspects of surveillance we can blend seamlessly into any environment where it is legal to do so.
Using a RIPA based approach we have access to former high ranking police authorising officer who independently assess all deployments. This means all our evidence can hold up in court and reduces legal and reputational risk. In over 5 years of operating our evidence has not be challenged in court or by counsel. 
Working closely with the client from planning to post deployment reporting to ensure mission success we can deploy from our London base across the globe at short notice.
We have deployed for blue chip corporates, ultra-high net worth individuals, Government departments and local authorities and our approach is always the same, obtaining legally and ethically compliant product in a cost-effective manner.

Counter Surveillance

To identify threats posed by hostile surveillance we deploy a specialist team with 24/7 capability who are former Government covert specialists with a wealth of experience in high threat environments. This means we have unique, unrivalled experience at identifying hostile actors early to mitigate against risk. 
Blending seamlessly with any existing security provision we can provide dynamic intelligence updates to assist with risk assessment reviews and security planning.
Using a blend of both mobile and static tactics we have deployed for international – high profile events, for main stream political parties, corporate leaders, blue chips companies and persons deemed ‘at risk’.

Covert Behaviour Detection

We deliver discreet and legally compliant covert behaviour detection services designed to identify hostile actors who present a physical, financial, or reputational risk to people, organisations, and sensitive locations. Our highly trained and experienced operatives deploy advanced behavioural observation techniques to detect pre-incident indicators, suspicious conduct, and threat-related behaviours in complex and crowded environments.
We have successfully supported political figures, major sporting events, and high-profile venues, providing early-stage threat identification that enables proportionate and lawful risk mitigation without disruption or public visibility. All behaviour detection operations are conducted within clearly defined UK legal and governance frameworks, ensuring intelligence is gathered ethically, discreetly, and without creating legal or reputational exposure for our clients.
