Chapter 8 Surveillance Detection

Below are the questions and indicative answers to Covert Surveillance Theory by each chapter.

 

If you are taking the assessments for the Level 4 NQF qualifications in surveillance, you are advised not to copy and paste these answers into your workbook. It will be easily noticed if you do, and you will be struck off for plagiarism.

 

Only the indicative content is included, not the complete answers, therefore you will have to answer your questions in full to level 4 standard.
