 Vehicle surveillance is designed to follow a suspect vehicle without being detected, while trailing through major cities or rural areas. This course is designed to teach the art of following another person while essentially hiding in plain sight. Instructors also have extensive experience in electronic surveillance of suspect vehicles which will be discussed during this course. Sometimes a suspect leaves his vehicle behind but must still be followed by someone who can blend with any environment they are confronted with. Surveillance is the first step to completing a successful Vehicle Containment Technique ( VCT). 

      Vehicle Containment Technique (VCT) is designed to take down violent criminals, and to prevent vehicle pursuits. VCT should be utilized for high-value targets. Students will learn how to use the element of surprise and properly timed violence of action to take down violent felony suspects.   The Vehicle Containment Technique is designed to physically restrict the movement of the suspect vehicle by simultaneously striking it from multiple sides, thereby preventing a vehicle pursuit. As a result, this tactic will also reduce the risk to the public.

    The instructors teaching this course have conducted approximately 60 VCTs on violent suspects in the Houston area. We have also conducted surveillance on over 1,000 suspects in different areas of Houston giving us the unique ability to hide in plain sight.  They are experts who have trained for hundreds of hours on these tactics to perfect their outcomes. The instructors were involved with the surveillance of a Serial Murder suspect who was using a rifle to shoot ATM guards at approx. 100 yards. This suspect killed multiple Houstonians and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars. This operation lasted approx. 4 months. with 7 days a week sometimes 24-hour surveillance and the suspect never detected our team surveilling him. This case was known throughout the country and a book has been written about this case among others that instructors were involved in.

Course Focus: applicable weapons handling for a CQB environment, as well as accuracy while moving as it applies to CQB. This will be in a flat range environment and is NOT a "live fire CQB" course. Day 0 will function like a pistol/rifle clinic, allowing students of lower skill or experience level to catch up to others, and giving more experienced students a refresher on the basics with both platforms, as well as movement, reloads, malfunctions, panning doors, center checking, and dynamic entry with DRY REPS to familiarize with the concepts for Day 1.

At the end of this course, students will be able to accurately and rapidly engage targets with multiple rounds at CQB distances with rifle and pistol.

All the shooting will be done with UTMs non-lethal training munitions.
