When planning for any type of covert deployment whether it is intelligence or evidence gathering to prove or disprove wrongdoing or protective surveillance, placing a protective bubble around people or locations it is imperative to have good situational awareness.
Many factors can affect a deployment and consideration should be given at planning stage to thoroughly research outside influences so mitigation can be implemented.
Elements, often overlooked, are public disorder or demonstrations and crime patterns within the deployment area.We are not affiliated to any site but often use crimerate.co.uk and www.police.uk to look at crime trends in anticipated deployment areas and have the Terror Alert App for updated threat analysis.
Awareness of potential issues allows for a smooth deployment to maximize the potential for a successful deployment for the client.
