Field Investigations

Protocol Security Services has developed expertise gained through military experience and understands the need for critical decision making, targeting critical vulnerabilities, using tempo for continuation of action and focus for directing resources on the objective.

Just like in the Military good reconnaissance is vital in protecting a company from external threat influences. Understanding the behaviour or methods of criminal opportunists or indeed hostile business interests can reduce risk to a company. Receiving timely information is critical to decision makers. Protocol Security can assist through reconnaissance to achieve the best delivery of strategic information to inform vital decision making.

Surveillance is the most intense form of investigation. Often the most difficult to effect and requires a high degree of expertise both in the use of equipment and deployment. Our agents are very respected in the field and we have a high degree of success in obtaining excellent intelligence during our assignments. Surveillance by nature is a clandestine activity and needs to be handled professional by experienced operatives. A fully trained surveillance team is available to provide static or mobile covert surveillance. This team can be deployed to observe goods in transit, individuals under suspicion, etc, and is a very powerful tool in evidence and intelligence gathering.

Surveillance can also be carried out by means of electronic surveillance equipment, weather by temporary undercover cameras or permanent cameras in a visible location, in order to provide the necessary photographic or video evidence to prove a case.

Just as surveillance is a powerful tool in protecting your business, it can also be used against you by outside forces intent on disrupting or causing your business a loss or embarrassment. We have experience in disrupting this kind of surveillance allowing us to protect your company's assets.

Monitoring is a type of surveillance used sporadically or systematically on a target or installation to verify that a procedure or system is maintained or being maintained. This service is particularly useful for assisting and maintaining large contracts. Sometimes when large amounts of contractors are being used, for example, on a construction project, it can be difficult to ensure these contracts are being fulfilled. Projects can be lost or seriously compromised by inefficient monitoring. Protocol Security Services can assist with a discreet and effective field monitoring and reporting service.

Health & Safety matters are now a huge concern to businesses. The onus is on firms now to ensure that there is a safe environment for staff and the public to work in. Our experience shows that even the most professional of organisations with the highest health & safety records can be compromised by an unchecked safety procedure. Monitoring and reporting work practices and procedures can reduce a risk that may potentially damage a company's hard earned reputation.

Field Tracing is a tool used when desktop tracing has been unsuccessful. Our field agents can carry out enquiries locally utilising contacts and a little social engineering. These types of enquiries are very useful as an agent can provide very up to date intelligence on the subject's circumstances.

A valuable method of detection of fraud by employees. Our detectives can infiltrate where employees have access to valuable company assets, or are placed in positions of trust, susceptible to the acceptance of cash or other inducements in return for goods or services connected to the business, Protocol can provide the necessary services to identify and provide intelligence regarding the individuals who may be involved in this kind of activity. This is a procedure designed to provide corroborative evidence in connection with this eyewitness testimony.

Placing a confident undercover agent in a strategic position within an organization can be a tremendous fraud fighting initiative. The agent can report developments and other activities among the work force. Being able to update the client on what's happening within the work force can aid vital decision making. Protocol Security Services has the experience and capability to infiltrate an agent into your organisation.

The possibility of in house fraud exists in all business. Technical eavesdropping equipment can put a company at risk. Protocol can arrange for electronic sweeps to be carried out and give some peace of mind to managers that they have not been compromised within their organisation.
