What Is Covert Surveillance?

Covert surveillance essentially means watching something or someone without their knowledge. The Security Services carryout surveillance on suspected criminals or terrorists, Councils can carryout surveillance on suspected benefit cheats or private companies may carryout surveillance on employees they suspect of wrongdoing. Covert surveillance can be a powerful way to gather information which, when collated and analyzed along with other information, can help to inform you about a situation or a persons behaviour.

There are many ways of conducting surveillance operations. Modern technology has provided a whole raft of extra capability, including covert cameras or listening devices or the ability to snoop on peoples email or online communications although this latter one is only really available to police or security services who have a warrant! There are also the more 'traditional' ways of carrying out covert surveillance. One, which any avid viewer of police type movies or police shows before this decade will be more than familiar with, is the physical covert surveillance method which tends to see the surveillance operator following the target either on foot or in a vehicle and observing where they go and who they meet.

Although covert surveillance sounds quite an easy thing to do, it can be fraught with problems. Firstly, knowing whether your target is aware they are or maybe under surveillance will heavily influence how you carryout and plan your operation. Also understanding what the end result will be. Will the surveillance form part of an investigation that could see its result's been used in court? And then there are the moral questions. Whilst most people support the activities of the security services that target dangerous elements of society as they look to protect us, surveillance carried out on a suspected errant husband falls into different category.

Carrying out covert surveillance on a partner who is suspected of cheating can be construed as significant invasion of privacy and should not be undertaken lightly but it can also provide categorical evidence of the truth. Ensuring a correctly planned operation, with properly analyzed results is essential to getting to the truth, which is un-swayed and unbiased.

What is the different between covert and overt surveillance? Whilst covert surveillance is aimed at catching people's real behaviour and attitudes, overt surveillance aims at moderating and shaping peoples behaviour to ensure it is socially acceptable and does not intrude negatively on people around them. It also acts as an effective deterrent where people looking to break the law, or do something morally wrong, will look for another location or target when faced with the real possibility of being caught in the act.
