Welcome back to Titan PI TV, where we bring you the ultimate conclusion to Titan’s RQF Certificated 5-Day Surveillance Training Course, hosted by Simon Henson. This episode takes you behind the scenes of Day 5, the most critical and challenging day of the course – the Final Live Exercise.

Shot on location in and around Derby City Centre, this immersive episode captures the intensity, precision, and teamwork required to succeed in a real-world operational surveillance deployment. Day 5 pushes the trainees to their limits, combining everything they’ve learned throughout the week into a comprehensive and realistic surveillance scenario designed to replicate the complexities of a real surveillance deployment undertaken by professional private investigators.

The Importance of Day 5

Day 5 of Titan’s Surveillance Training Course is designed to simulate the authentic experience of a live surveillance operation. Every decision, movement, and piece of communication matters as trainees are put through their paces in real-time scenarios. This is where theory meets practice, and success hinges on the ability to adapt, think critically, and work as a cohesive unit under pressure.

This culmination of the course aims to prepare participants to transition seamlessly from training into operational environments, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and mindset required to tackle the unpredictable challenges of real-world surveillance.

Episode Highlights

Briefing the Operation

The day begins at 7.00am with a comprehensive operational briefing at the Titan HQ in Derby.

• Trainees are introduced to the case scenario, target profile, and objectives of the live exercise.
• Emphasis is placed on teamwork, strategy, and maintaining the covert nature of the operation.
• Communication protocols and contingency plans are outlined, preparing the team for potential challenges.

Deploying into Derby City Centre

With the briefing complete, the trainees hit the streets of Derby City Centre, executing their roles in a highly dynamic and fast-paced environment.

• Foot Surveillance: Trainees practice tailing the target through busy pedestrian areas while maintaining discretion and blending into the crowd.
• Vehicle Surveillance: The team transitions seamlessly between foot and vehicle tracking, showcasing the critical skills of positioning, communication, and route anticipation.
• Adapting to Changing Scenarios: The live exercise introduces unexpected twists, testing the team’s ability to stay calm, focused, and effective under pressure.

Communication in Real Time

Effective communication is at the heart of any successful surveillance operation, and Day 5 puts this skill to the ultimate test.

• Trainees must relay updates on the subject’s movements and coordinate handovers between foot and vehicle operatives.
• Split-second decisions are required to keep the operation running smoothly and avoid detection by the subject.

Maintaining Covert Status

The trainees are evaluated on their ability to remain covert while navigating through the bustling city environment.

• Blending into different settings – from shopping centres to quieter streets – is critical for maintaining the integrity of the operation.
• Observers monitor for any signs of “burning” (being noticed by the target), providing real-time feedback to improve tactics.

Debrief and Evaluation

The day concludes with a detailed debriefing session, where instructors review the team’s performance and provide valuable feedback.

• Each participant receives an individual assessment, highlighting their strengths and identifying areas for improvement.
• The debrief underscores the importance of preparation, communication, and adaptability in real-world surveillance.
