About Us

Why Choose Lateo Surveillance?

Lateo Surveillance has been established by ex military surveillance specialists who have operated across the globe in all theatres of operations.  Lateo which is Latin “to remain hidden” underpins the ethos that is behind the teams drive and determination to achieve the results which count.  The team also has the advantage of not only military but a fine balance of very experienced civilians with over 20 years of covert photography and surveillance experience.  We employ tried and tested Standing Operating Procedures to produce first class results with no compromise to the highest standards you would expect from a professional organisation.

Confidence 

At Lateo we are that confident in our ability to safeguard your information we offer a 100% money back guarantee if your information is compromised into the public domain by our negligence.

Professionalism

At Lateo Surveillance we believe there is only one way to do the job, the “Right Way” which protects everyone concerned i.e. both parties.  We understand the importance of security and confidentiality, operating not only within the law of the data protection act but also a strict moral code of conduct.  Developed Vetted means we have been security cleared to the highest levels possible, reinforcing our intimate understanding and responsibility regarding security of information.

No Middle Men

Unlike an awful lot of other internet based surveillance and investigation companies Lateo Surveillance are not middle men; we do not farm out jobs to unknown contractors which means we can offer a personal service at the best possible prices. You will also see on many other sites references to companies who act in strict accordance with the Regulatory Powers of Investigation Act 2000 (RIPA) or the Human Rights Act 1998 granted this looks official, however in practice have little or no relevance whatsoever and are only used by governmental and public bodies such as the security services or police for example, not private surveillance or investigation companies unless they are acting on behalf the governmental or public body.  We however operate to a strict code of moral conduct and the guidelines laid down by the Association of British Investigators (ABI) of which we are proud provisional members.

Surveillance is our core business

We understand and enjoy the challenge it presents us with.  Our operators are fully trained in the following: Advanced Mobile & Foot Surveillance BTEC Level 3 accreditation, Counter Surveillance, Covert Photography, Basic life support / Combat Medical training, IOSH Health & Safety.

Honest & Friendly

We do not profess to be shrewd businessmen or offer services we feel are out of our remit, we can offer advice and will endeavour to give you the best possible price with a guaranteed professional honest and friendly service so you will come back and be happy to recommend us.

We have carried out surveillance in order to:

Obtain information & evidence relating to criminal and fraudulent activity.

Theft is on the rise along with fraudulent insurance and personal injury claims to benefit fraud which costs not only insurance companies but also you and I the UK tax payer.

Obtain information & evidence relating to misconduct within business.

Honesty, integrity and trust are crucial within business, unfortunately there are occasions when individuals are dishonest and abuse the trust placed in them.  This has ranged from sales assistants & directors to the habitual sick day taker which ultimately has a financial impact on your business.

Obtain information & evidence relating to the misuse of Company & Private vehicles.

Vehicle misuse is at an alarming rate, the cost in monetary terms alone is staggering, individuals who have crossed the line also tend to pay scant regard to the image of the company driving erratically and tending to speed.  Covert tracking monitors not only monitor where the vehicle has been in either real time which can be monitored via the internet or historical over a set period but also provides information regarding vehicle speeds etc, see our GPS Vehicle and Asset tracking service for more information.

Obtain information & evidence relating to matrimonial issues.

We have provided clients with the information which has put their minds at rest or indeed confirmed their suspicions. All matters will be dealt with in the strictest confidence and in accordance with the data protection act.

Collate evidence for further investigations.

Surveillance has been conducted to confirm matters ranging from harassment, Anti-Social behaviour, intimidation to fly tipping and vandalism.

Our success is due to the professional approach we maintain, ensuring corners are never cut.   The basic principles of surveillance are never compromised.  Our operators conduct detail planning and briefings prior to deployment yet are able to remain flexible due to their experience.   The Lateo ethos drives us to go that extra mile to achieve first class results as we never forget “you are only as good as your last job”.
