SURVEILLANCE

PRACTICE How much do you know about surveillance subjects? Even though they're members of your family, you

still

need a PSP - or

professional surveillance profile - for each

person you are watching. It contains some basic information about each subject.

Make a subject file. Prepare a page for each member of your family. Keep your subject file in

a secret location.

Check your

file

before

you begin a mission

on your new subject.
