Soteria Covert Solutions Ltd

The 'can do' attitude of those we deploy never ceases to amaze me. We have been, and continue to be, extremely busy on deployments across the UK and the team has delivered each time, every time - often in demanding circumstances. Everyone brings their own skills, experience and expertise but it is the team that delivers. So if you need a highly skilled and experienced TEAM to conduct covert surveillance to evidence crime or wrongdoing, or enhance your covert security to maximise safety and reduce risk then I strongly recommend our teams - they have a habit of being excellent. Its not just me that thinks so - our clients agree. Thank you team!!!! Oh - we only deploy surveillance where there is a legal necessity to do so and provide free advice around this.

We do what it says. 55 deployments, of varying lengths, this year, in 4 different countries. Excellence Through Experience.

A change of tact today as a result of an article I have just read. According to the OECD the global trade in counterfeit & pirated products that infringed UK trademarks accounted for ....... a loss of £12.1 billion to UK companies. Wow!!!! 😗 What are you doing to protect your intellectual property or trademark? Are you proactively deploying against the people, often organsied criminal networks causing these gigantic losses? We can .... and have - advised and deployed against people who wish financial and reputational harm against you. #fraud #counterfeit #crime #investigations #surveillance

'The power of hello' Having been to a number of large events recently, both as a guest and deploying covertly in support of existing security measures I get the feeling not much has changed in the security world. As both a guest and whilst working I have observed people who do not naturally fit in with the environment in and around crowded places. Nobody from a security perspective seems to approach them. These people may not present a threat to anybody or anything but a simple approach, a 'Hello' and a helpful chat can help determine if they are a threat or not. The National Protective Security Authority use SCaN ( See, check and Notify). Look them up. It is a simple but effective tool to maximise safety and security. Delivering a bespoke Covert Behaviour Detection capability we always encourage the overt security provision to use 'the power of hello' for persons we deem require further investigation. Try it. Make the world a safer place. #security #counterterrorism #behaviourdetection #crime Soteria Covert Solutions Ltd

May not be the right platform but who cares? Wanted to post a big thank you to clients, old & new, for trusting us to deliver services on your behalf. We have deployed every day over the past 19 days, sometimes on multiple deployments in a day to deliver our unique services to provide legislative support and assist in criminal and corporate investigations. We value your business and trust. Thanks #surveillance #investigations #fraud Soteria Covert Solutions Ltd

Been a while since last post but we have been busy. Last couple of weeks we have referred clients on to trusted partners who deliver services we don’t and we found time to deliver over 200 hours of covert surveillance across the UK. LinkedIn is a great platform for finding the best service suppliers out there and for referring onwards. There is always someone who knows someone! In a challenging financial climate collaboration is key. Stay lucky and fingers crossed for the budget and what it brings for small to medium businesses 🤞🤞 #surveillance #behavioursetection #covertsecurity #investigations

Our view on the news headlines about knife enabled crime is this; We all have a part to play is reducing crime. We should all be reporting our suspicions, we should all intervene if safe to do so and we all need to be robust in dealing with those who wish to harm our society. If criminal activity is seen don't jump straight onto social media or ignore what is unfolding, help out, protect people and property and fulfill your civic duty. Dynamic risk assessments will provide the most appropriate response. Respect all - fear none.

Retainers for intelligence led surveillance deployments. Worth it and cost effective? Many surveillance deployments can be wasted because the subject(s) of the deployment either do not move from a location, are not seen as they are not where they were suspected to be or do not do what they were expected to do. This is why intelligence led deployments are cost effective but also more likely to achieve the objectives for the client. If intelligence is developing, changes or waits confirmation why pay the full cost of an expensive deployment and not have a team on standby to react? We have dealt with a number of clients who suspect that an incident may occur that they need evidencing ( commercial burglary, intellectual property infringement, breach of court order, handling stolen goods) but are unsure of the exact day/time and await confirmation. By paying a retainer to keep a small team available to react when the intelligence is confirmed allows us to confirm a team for the client, not deploying elsewhere and committed to that operation. Each company has a finite number of resources so to ensure rapid deployment of properly trained and equipped operators we believe retainers are a cost effective method. Just to be clear we do not have an open 'whatsapp' group to backfill with inexperienced, poorly trained and unvetted people to call on. All people deploying have been Government trained with thousands of hour of experience, have been vetted and are properly equipped. What do you think?

Interesting article published by the Law Society this week about the regulation of private investigators. In our view, long overdue and kudos to the The Association of British Investigators for being part of the solution. https://lnkd.in/emJVbKr8

As a company we understand the implication of added costs when considering a covert surveillance deployment. With this in mind we have now established capability that can cover the South West of the UK. Our standards remain the same; former police specialists, RIPA & CPIA compliant, risk assessments, DPIA's & highest evidential standards. The benefit being reduced costs, deploying local resources with local knowledge with the potential for fast time, intelligence led, deployments.
