Lateo Surveillance Core Service
Covert Surveillance is our core business; we specialise in foot and mobile surveillance, working as part of a team to reduce the risk of compromise. Lateo are amongst the few who are specialists in static rural & urban surveillance after spending many years in the military honing skills which can only be gained through good training, practise and more practice, culminating in deployments into operational theatres across the globe in all environments, a testing ground not for the faint hearted. The skills required to execute a professional option regardless of its location take time, diligence and professional personal discipline to ensure a successful outcome, not to mention the correct equipment which is not only expensive but takes a considerable amount of time to adapt to the environment required.
Sadly, reading a book is not good-enough, as i have found out there are many people out there who claim to be experts, however the reality is there are very-few who can operate at the level of professionalism required for a sustained period of time. When the chips are down i.e. driving rain and freezing temperatures the job suddenly changes into a survival exercise unless the basics have been covered in detail, if not corners are cut and short cuts taken, all leading to compromise and or a poor service to the client.
Technical surveillance can also be used as an effective tool to gather information and can reduce costs considerably however we rarely completely rely on this option as the human eye can never be replaced.
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 we believe is down to our uncompromising approach to cutting corners, the basic principles of surveillance are never compromised and 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”.
