Surveillance operative
The Cotswold Group
April 2018 to July 2018
I worked as a surveillance operative for the Cotswold group.
My role included covert surveillance with advanced foot tactics, assertive driving,stopping and plotting
and tracing skills.
Every job has an active planner which states the client requirements, myself as an operative would then
utilise my other skills to land the job successfully these skills include but are not limited to, detailed Plot
Recce, Subject Tracing using various methods, Vehicle logging and risk assessment reports.
This role requires a high work ethic and the ability to work well under pressure, my working day
was constantly evolving, and every hour can bring new obstacles and challenges which required high
concentration and the ability to problem solve effectively.
Unfortunately due to a major requirement change I reluctantly had to forfeit this position.
