Key Takeaway: Targeted physical attacks are usually preceded by surveillance and reconnaissance. Detecting that activity early gives a target time to change patterns, escalate protection, or avoid an incident entirely.

This sub-section of the Physical Security framework will cover how to detect and respond to physical surveillance directed at people and locations.

Planned topics include:

  • Recognizing fixed and mobile surveillance
  • Surveillance detection routes and pattern variation
  • Identifying pre-attack reconnaissance signals
  • Practical countermeasures and escalation thresholds

Contributions are welcome. See the contributing guide to help expand this section.
