Surveillance Detection Strategies & Tactics

Surveillance Detection

It’s certainly no secret that if the Security Driver, or Solo Practitioner, and their Principal are going to be confronted by a security threat, it will most likely happen while he or she is in or around a vehicle.

And, if history holds true, security incidents targeting specific individuals will - not may or might, but WILL– be preceded by some form of surveillance.

Our goal is to provide each and every one of our students with the knowledge, skill and ability they will need to survive potentially life threatening encounters while behind the wheel, from motor vehicle accidents to deliberate attacks.
