Surveillance is one of
the most challenging and difficult tasks that investigators frequently
perform, especially after the events of September 11,th, 2001. That's
because an increase in public awareness of surveillance practices
in general has occurred. Every one hundred years or so, a manual is
developed that becomes the national standard reference on a specific
subject. On the subject of conducting a professional surveillance,
we believe that you will find that Tactical Surveillance, The Investigator's
Bible by Douglas J. Hagmann is that manual. Tactical Surveillance
is a very comprehensive text that will appeal to new and veteran investigators
alike. It is a field guide for the investigator, providing essential
information, tips, and refreshing ideas that will aid in training
the new surveillance investigator and assist the veteran investigator.
You will not find any useless
padding in this excellent work. Every page is brimming with clear,
fresh and crisp references, tips, techniques, and know-how on conducting
a tactical surveillance. This in depth bible is the very best manual
on conducting a tactical surveillance published to date.
