Lecture: "A Practical Guide to Counter-Surveillance Techniques"

Modern electronic and computer systems have, for the most part, been of great benefit to industry enabling many routine tasks to be carried out more accurately and efficiently than ever before. Miniature microphones, TV cameras and radio transmitters are now used regularly by television companies when carrying out investigative reporting to bring us pictures and sound from 'front-line' situations. However, when such surveillance techniques are liable to be used against one's business by a competitor carrying out 'Aggressive Market Research', it is time to take stock and consider what cost-effective counter-measures are available to protect commercially sensitive information.

Chapman Associates are now able to offer a useful and informative lecture and demonstration dealing with the important subject of practical everyday counter-surveillance techniques. The presentation addresses the following topics:

  1. DEFINING THE THREAT
    An introduction discussing how to define the threat posed by an outside agency to sensitive information within one's own business organisation or private life.
  2. HOW THE 'OPPOSITION' CAN LEARN YOUR SECRETS
    Methods by which the opposition could learn your secrets : firstly, a brief description of simple non-technical ways of getting information, followed by a fuller exposition of the use and misuse of electronic technology.
  3. COMMON-SENSE COUNTER-MEASURES TECHNIQUES
    Describing what basic, non-technical precautions can be taken by anyone using telephones, electronic notebooks, computers etc. and how offices and conference rooms can be made more secure.
  4. MODERN ELECTRONIC COUNTER-SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT
    A description and lively practical demonstration of some typical items of electronic equipment suitable for de-bugging and counter-surveillance activities, along with details of how such technology can be used to best effect by an operator.

Chapman Associates do not sell counter-surveillance equipment, but instead offer professional consultancy and practical user-friendly expertise on the above topic as well as a number of other radio-related technical subjects. David Chapman, Principal Consultant, is a Chartered Engineer and has been a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical Engineers since 1984. From 1973 until January 1994 he was the Engineer in charge of the London Metropolitan Police Technical Support Unit.
