Time and time again prospective clients ring the [1] Trident Investigations office wanting a quote for surveillance without really giving it a thought as to what they really want to achieve.

[2] Surveillance isn’t the answer to every problem. People are naturally guarded when they call us, male clients can be very protective and female clients can be very emotional. Both of these responses are understandable. These are often sensitive enquiries which can easily trigger some emotion. But before we can respond we do need to ask a few questions.

Surveillance is an “art”, it is not for everyone and the key to good surveillance is discretion, this is why that on most surveillance operations we recommend that more than one person is used.

We do not sit in the open, blatantly obvious with a long lens camera, nor do we hide in hedges and trespass on to the neighbours property in search of a good camera position, we are not the paparazzi!

But when you call any Detective Agency you need to be clear on what you want to achieve and there is often more than one way to skin a cat!

For Example

When you walk in to a Main Dealer to buy a car, you have and idea of the car you want, be-it a two seater coupe with a convertible roof or a family MPV with nine seats and a DVD player. You want less than 50,000 miles a full service history and no older the XX years old. You have £XXXXX to spend and not a penny more. That’s what you want.

When you think you want surveillance, you will also have a similar idea in you head. You will know who you want watched, why you want them watched, and where you want them watched (there will aways be a start point). You will know how long you need them watched for 4hrs, 8hrs, 24hrs etc. you will also know or have a good idea if they will be [3] mobile (in a vehicle), on [4] foot, or [5] static (at an address). This is the information we need before we can even contemplate giving you a quotation.

In some cases you might think you need surveillance, but what you want is something else entirely. Call us FREE on 0800 756 6872 to discuss your problem in complete confidence. You can be sure of one thing, and that is we will have heard it before!
