Tip

Shadowing with the A-B

technique

When pros want to shadow a

suspicious person as unobtrusively

as possible, they usually apply the A-B

technique. The pursuer takes position

A directly behind the suspect. The

second detective follows at position B.

Detective B stays behind A or follows

at some distance on the other side

of the street. At crosswalks or when

the suspect takes a detour onto a

side street, the two detectives can

switch roles at a quick signal: Then, B

assumes position A directly behind the

person being followed, and A keeps in

the background in the new position B

until the next switch.

Following and shadowing

suspicious people

When investigating suspicious people,

you should always stick to a few simple

rules to keep them from becoming

aware of the fact that they’re being

watched.

• Try to blend in to your surroundings

and try not to attract attention to

yourself.

• Always keep your distance and wear

inconspicuous clothing (without loud

colors or things printed on them).

• Try to walk along the inside edge of the

sidewalk or on the shadowy side of the

street.

• Always vary your distance from the

person under observation and keep

a little change in your pocket so you

can buy a bus or subway ticket if

necessary.

• If possible, trade off with other

partners while tailing someone. You

can use the A-B technique (see Tip

Box) to maintain your watch at

crosswalks or in pedestrian

areas, so you can shadow your

target over long distances.

• Don’t ever let on that you’re

following someone: Stop and

tie your shoelaces every now

and then, read the newspaper

or talk to each other.

• Practice pursuits among yourselves

by having one detective play the role

of a suspect while two others try to

follow the first one unobtrusively over

a certain distance. For this practice

assignment, you should first agree on

a period of time or some kind of goal,

so you all know when and where the

pursuit is supposed to be over!
