SURVEILLANCE MONITORING AND INTERROGATION

Surveillance:
It is an intelligence activity through which from a fixed and safe point one
carry out a continuous and discrete observation of a person, place, vehicle
or fact, with the purpose of identifying the routines and situations of interest for the
intelligence that is generated there, avoiding being discovered.

Surveillance is considered a technique and an art that uses both observation

(fixed surveillance) and monitoring (mobile surveillance). It is an ancient form of
to obtain data. The term surveillance is often confused with that of tracking.

In practice, there is a very subtle difference: tracking is mobile surveillance.

on foot, or by vehicle. In the judicial field, surveillance consists of the systematic and
permanent secret observation exercised over people, places, or things,
carried out by the judicial police authorities who are conducting a
research, with the aim of discovering elements and verifying situations and/or
useful or necessary behaviors for the clarification of crimes.

Through surveillance, the researcher scrutinizes the movements of the observed.

for the research.

Follow-up
It consists of the intelligence activity by which control is exercised over
a moving target, which can move on foot, by vehicle or
combined, with the purpose of identifying the routine, that is to say the starting point, the
frequented places, the visited people, the vehicles used for
displacement, security measures, and the arrival point, aiming to
obtain all the relevant information. The success of the follow-up lies in not being
detected, in maintaining control from the starting point to the point of
arrival and in obtaining all possible information, which is why it must

Sonsacamiento:
Intelligence technique that allows the acquisition of information through
dialogue between the intelligence agent and the case chief, who must not notice
neither from its exploitation, nor from the agent's intention.

Due to the position, they are fixed (when the observation is made from one or more
fixed points (watch posts) to know what is happening in the area below
surveillance, mobile (it is the tracking with movement according to the movement

the combined use of fixed and mobile.

By the means used, they are on "foot" (one or more intelligence agents, in
"vehículos" (terrestre: automóvil, bicicleta, motos), "aéreo" (helicópteros),
maritime (boats and hovercrafts).

Due to the way it is, it is nearby or close surveillance (when the subject being monitored is kept watch over,

very close) or at a distance or loose (the target is monitored from a distance). The surveillance at

distance is the classic where the tracking must be as discreet as possible and not
It is important not to lose sight of the subject.

It is used in tracking important goals.

It is the type of surveillance that is most frequently used in operations of
intelligence.

Another type of surveillance is by stages or "frog."

It consists of gradually controlling the subject's activities until finding out
finally all his movements. This way he will be monitored for a while at home, then
in his office, during his travels; then all the gathered information is compiled
around the subject.

These measures are used to prevent detection of tracking. It is

professional and technical when it consists of searching for and locating a target or objective,

previously selected. From there, their attitudes and behaviors are studied,
schedule, travel routes, security measures adopted, his routine, etc.

What does the follow-up consist of?

The following consists of physically and discreetly exhaling at an individual.

public places, in order to control their movements, to know their whereabouts
places they frequent, the people they interact with, the activities they engage in

Ordinarily, monitoring is of two types:

a. On-foot surveillance by a single person.
b. The tracking of a vehicle, aboard another.

According to the purpose of monitoring or following up, the techniques are

numerous and serve to protect people. obtain proof or evidence of
a crime, locating the subject, monitoring family hideouts, friends, accomplices,
linked to the subject, or according to the circumstances of the investigation, locate
the residence or residences of the subject, determine the activity and/or contacts of
subject, to discover the identity of all those involved in a certain fact,
obtain necessary evidence to obtain a search warrant
obtain usable photographs, gather data that serves as a basis for a
interrogation, prevent the escape of a suspect from the country, locate witnesses,
apprehend those who are committing it, verify the information provided
by the victim, complainant, or confidential informant, etc.
