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 rst one unobtrusively

over a certain distance. For this

practice assignment, you should rst

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!
