Human Intelligence (HUMINT)

What this service covers

• Covert mobile and static surveillance of a subject, in urban, suburban, and rural environments;
• Subject profiling based on lawful sources — open records, public-domain information, and physical observation;
• Field operations in support of a wider investigation — for example, locating a subject so a process server or solicitor can act, or confirming presence at a specific place and time;
• Contemporaneous observation logs prepared in the form expected by courts and tribunals;
• Photographic and video evidence captured on equipment suitable for evidential use, with continuity and chain of custody preserved.

When clients engage us

• An insurer or a personal-injury solicitor needs evidence of activity inconsistent with a claim;
• A workplace investigation needs visual confirmation of conduct alleged in a grievance;
• A solicitor in matrimonial or family proceedings needs evidence of cohabitation, asset use, or contact with a person the court has restricted contact with;
• A private individual needs to know whether a partner is where they say they are.

Our approach

All surveillance is covert and conducted within the boundaries set by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, the Human Rights Act 1998, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. We will not undertake surveillance that would amount to harassment, that targets people in a protected setting (such as a place of worship or a refuge), or that is disproportionate to the legitimate aim of the engagement.
