Meeting a surveillance investigator is something not all investigators are keen to happen; there is a risk of compromising an investigation. Many investigators now prefer emailed instructions, which keep the information clear, and everyone aware of the exact instructions.

Surveillance operatives generally don't wear t-shirts displaying the fact they are private investigators or surveillance specialists. They may avoid disclosing exactly what they do when socially engaged. Some will even develop a cover story.

Being an effective surveillance operative means blending in and not drawing attention. This applies to military, police or private surveillance operatives, they want to blend into their environment and not be noticed. Being overlooked is a good thing, in surveillance.

Therefore, some of the big no no's which can create friction with clients include:

1 Wanting to meet with the surveillance operative.

2 Wanting to brief the surveillance operative or team member at the place of business - especially a big no no if the surveillance relates to the business.

3 Wanting to ride with the surveillance operative to show them things (having discreet vehicles is important).

4 Wanting to have a group discussion about the surveillance, including involving people who do not 'need to know'; the more people involved the lower the level of information security.

To blow a surveillance because of a failure to ensure security of information or identity (I saw that guy at Mario's talking with him, last Saturday, he knows Mario, he's probably working for Mario; when Mario is your client and you met at his place, the target lives next door!) is poor form.
