Surveillance Detection Strategies & Tactics For Security Drivers & Solo Practitioners

COURSE OVERVIEW

In the early 1990’s, prior to founding Vehicle Dynamics Institute (VDI), Joe Autera, VDI’s President & CEO, was first tasked with providing surveillance detection support to protective details in some of the highest risk locales throughout Latin America; a few years later, he began teaching Security Drivers, as well as other protection practitioners operating with limited resources, field-tested and time-proven strategies and tactics for integrating surveillance detection into day-to-day protection operations.

Today, as they have for the last 18 years, the VDI team continues to deliver highly refined surveillance detection training to those professionals who don’t have the luxury of dedicated surveillance detection support but have responsibility for identifying, mitigating, and managing a wide range of potential security risks. These courses provide insights into lessons learned from incidents involving high-profile public figures as well as lesser-known individuals that have occurred both here in the U.S. and abroad.

And now, the VDI team is joined by the professionals at Peeler Group International and supported by The K Street Group to further enhance the value of these highly acclaimed courses.

This innovative, highly interactive three (3) day course consists of informative discussion modules and a series of hands-on, intensive practical exercises, designed and proven to provide the Security Driver or Solo Practitioner, as well as other protection professionals, an in-depth understanding of the art and science of surveillance detection.
