Surveillance It is very common within the private investigation industry to refer to surveillance as part art and part science. Some even state the longer one does it he/she can become an alchemist and transforms it from the science into the art at a highly developed level. Surveillance can be defined as the continuous watching (overtly or covertly) of persons, vehicles, places or objects to obtain information concerning the activities and identities of individuals. To achieve the successful objective of obtaining information the operative whether law enforcement personnel or private investigator utilizes intuition, street savvy, equipment and pre surveillance information. Being a private investigator that specializes in surveillance with former law enforcement experience gives me a perspective on how surveillance applies in both contexts. The most important equipment a private investigator has available during the course of conducting surveillance is his mind and its esoteric components.
