I. OBSERVATION &
DESCRIPTION (ODEX)
POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS
ODEX
◦ An individual’s complete awareness of his surroundings
is achieved through maximum employment of his/her
senses.
◦ ODEX focuses on factually reporting one’s own
observations or the sensory experience recounted by
others.

2. Perception – involves in the understanding this fact of
awareness.
*Perception Factors
◦ Mental Capacity – possession of enough intelligence to
comprehend and understand facts and things.
◦ Educational Background – possession of specific
knowledge through formal education. A person might be
mentally matured but his understanding on things may still
be limited due to lack of different perception about things.

Cont…
◦ Empirical Background – understanding is based on
previous exposure from the same set of facts and not
by formal education.
◦ Occupational Background – perception may vary
due to the occupation or the nature which someone
is engaged in.

II. ELICITATION
POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS
ELICITATION
◦ The process of extracting information during an
apparently normal and innocent communication, where
one or more of the involved parties is not aware of the
specific purpose of the conversation.
◦ One attraction of elicitation is that, it is very low risk
activity. It is hard for the target to recognize as an
intelligence collection technique and easy to deny any
intentional wrongdoing. It is just a pleasant conversation
among colleagues or friends.

Eliciting Tricks
◦ By appealing to the ego, self-esteem or prominence of
the subject; you might be able to guide him or her into a
conversation on the area of operation.
◦ By soliciting the subject’s opinion and by insinuating
that he or she is an authority on a particular topic.
◦ By adopting an unbelievable attitude, you may be able to
cause the subject to explain in detail or to answer out of
irritation.

Cont…
◦ By inserting bits of factual information on a particular
topic, you might influence the subject to confirm and
further expound on the topic.
◦ By offering sincere and valid assistance, you might be
able to determine the subject’s specific area of interest.
◦ By quoting something as fact
◦ By disagreeing partially
◦ By use of flattery liberally but sensibly

III. CASING
POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS
CASING
◦ One of the basic tools of a field operative in the
conduct of covert operation.
◦ It is continuous, being an indispensable preparatory
step to the conduct of virtually every type of
clandestine activity, and highly sensitive in that its
early detection compromises in advance its intended
operational use.

Types of Casing
1. External – It is close observation and clear description
of area, building, or installation; particularly its location,
approaches , physical barriers, immediate vicinity etc.
2. Internal – It is the close observation and clear
description of the layout of the building, an office or
room.

POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS
Considerations in Recasing
1. Recasing should be done prior to operational use if
several months have passed since the original casing
2. Recasing should be done at the specific time of day
and day of week the site is designed to be used.
3. Recasing should be spaced out and conducted at
various times of the day and the days of the week to
increase the knowledge base on the site.

2. Moving Surveillance – employed when the subject
moves from one place to another. The person is commonly
tailing or shadowing the subject.
◦ Tailing/Shadowing – simply means the act of
following a person’s movement either through foot or
with the use of automobile. The subject of this
surveillance is usually a person. This could be done in
the following manner:

2. Target & Area study
- This is the collection, study and analysis of
operational data on target and area where surveillance is
to take place. Important details about the target may
include means of identification such as description
(complete profile), habits and mannerism, interests,
routine (route taken and transportation use), and probable
degree of security consciousness.

3. Surveillance Plan
- The plan must be sufficiently detailed to prevent
misunderstanding and confusion. Among the things that
must be established before the actual surveillance are:
Number and type of personnel required, general and
specific instructions, individual tasking among
surveillance if necessary, administrative and logistic
support, prescribed communication methods, etc.

Methods of Surveillance
1. Discreet – subject’s unawareness is the primordial
consideration. The guiding rule is to discontinue
operational rather than risk compromise.
*Note: To be discreet is to maintain considerable
distance between the target and the operatives. This may
vary from Normal, wherein the distance between the
subject and surveillant is about half a block apart.
POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS

Cont…
Very Discreet, wherein the distance is just enough to
maintain visual contact with subject, and the Strip,
wherein several teams alternately take over the
surveillance after some distance to lull target into a false
sense of security.

2. Intermittent observation – may be applied frequently
or infrequently with varying periods of observation on
each occasion. Intermittent observation is often
employed to spot check activities of known subversive
personalities.
*Note: Intermittent observation is employ occasionally,
especially after establishing the subject’s routine,
associates, housing and employment.

Cont…
3. Close – continuous and constant observation of the
subject is maintained regardless of whether or not he/she
becomes aware of the surveillance. This is usually
conducted to deter, hinder or prevent a target from
engaging in a clandestine or criminal activity or to protect
material individual (such as a witness in a pending
criminal case) from harm and danger. It is otherwise
known as restraint, restrictive, control, harassment, or
rough shadow.

TACTICAL INTERROGATION
◦ Interrogation involves the process of extracting
maximum amount of usable and reliable information
by questioning and examining a source, performed
through a lawful manner, in the shortest possible
time.
◦ Usually reserved for sources who are suspect,
resistant or both.

3. Confirmation – obtained information shall be
verified and cross-checked with existing references
for validation.

Phases of Interrogation
1. Planning & Preparation – no two interrogation are
the same. Every interrogation is shaped definitively
by the personality of the source and of the
interrogator since the interrogation is an intensely
interpersonal process.

Phases of Interrogation
2. Approach – The interrogator is called upon to
perform two seemingly contradictory things at once:
• achieve rapport with the subject
• but remain an essentially detached observer
3. Questioning – the climax of the interrogation session
when the source is examined for the purpose of extracting
useful information believed to be in his possession.

Phases of Interrogation
4. Termination – marks the conclusion of the
interrogation session.
5. Reporting & Recording – it is sound practice to write
up each interrogation report on the day of questioning
or at least, before the next session so that defects can be
promptly remedied and gaps or contradictions noted.

1. Approaches & Techniques
Nobody Loves You – here, the investigator wants to be fair.
He recognizes that some of the denouncers may have been
biased or malicious.
We All Know/All Seeing Eye – the interrogator who already
knows part of the story explains to the subject that the
purpose of the questioning is not to gain information; the
interrogator knows everything already.

1. Approaches & Techniques
The Informer – Detention makes a number of tricks
possible, Less well known is the trick of planting two
informants in the cell. One of them, “A” tries now and then
pry a little information from the source; “B” remains quiet.
At the proper time, and during “A’s” absence, “B” warns the
source not to tell “A” anything because “B” suspects him of
being an informant planted by the authorities. In this case, the
subject might trust “B” a little.

Joint Suspects – If there are two or more subjects, they
should be separated immediately. If documents, witnesses or
other sources yield information yield information about
subject “A” (1st subject), such will be communicated to “B”
(2nd subject), in a way that B will establish in his mind that

Emotional – play on one or more dominant emotions observed in
the subject such as fear, jealousy, greed, etc. which can be
exploited.
Establish Your Identity – interrogator leads a subject to believe that
he has been mistakenly identified as some infamous individual. This
could make the subject reveal genuine details of his own identity
which can be developed as leads for further questions.
