Surveillance – as part of Under Cover O.I.C (Operational Intelligence Collection)

• Surveillance is an important tool when carrying out intelligence collection operations.

• Important information that cannot be collected is revealed when using surveillance. Information about the enemy's ways of action, connections and information necessary for incrimination/arrest.

• In addition to the above, surveillance is the main tool for training special units in under cover intelligence collection. A person who is trained in surveillance has actively implemented the intelligence way of thinking, and teaching a person as such becomes much easier.
