Observation

Observing well requires a thorough and complete skill of the trade. Are you a novice observant? Or do you already perform observation work in service of law enforcement, municipalities or the Ministry of Defence but want to evolve your skillset? It is crucial for both beginning and advanced observers to continuously keep developing. TGI offers training in (covert) observation to both experience levels.

THE BEST OBSERVATION TRAINING IN THE NETHERLANDS

 

WHY THIS COURSE?

Observation as a profession is often underestimated. People tend to think lightly about the difficulty of following a person. It often proves disappointing in practice, however. The preparatory work includes more than just making sure your car tank is full. Your work as an observer will be riddled with a broad spectrum of unexpected situations. There is nevertheless often only one chance to gather the proper evidence. The quality of this process is enormously important but is difficult to control. You must remain unseen, not lose sight of your target, and always keep track of your location.

 

HOW TO GO ABOUT "OBSERVING" CORRECTLY?

An observer must perform many tasks simultaneously. You cannot lose sight of your target, but you do not want to be seen. You may have to work on foot or from a car while keeping an eye on traffic. In addition, your work requires clear communication with your colleagues. All this is in addition to collecting the proper evidence while being prepared for unexpected situations.

TGI is aware that the quality of the evidence you deliver is your professional calling card. Good results result in more work and grant opportunities for even more experience. TGI can give you the right tools to provide the best and most complete evidence as an observer.

Participant U2E

I have never followed such a nice training before! The variety was good, but especially the surroundings, the trainers and the other staff were super. It was also very nice that both Ray and Onno visited us and were genuinely interested in us. We were not just a number. For me, this week has really given me a lot. I have grown in knowledge, but also personally this training has brought me a lot.
