    Research Associates was established in August 1977 and specialises in providing covert observation and surveillance throughout the Greater London area and nationwide. There are numerous reasons for undertaking surveillance, and we pride ourselves in providing suitable, unobtrusive observation professionals, fully equipped to address any task, often with very little notice.

    Clients expect a subtle, professional service at cost effective charges and we promise to satisfy expectations, and focus on resolving matters. Our experience since 1977 allows us to offer a well thought our service, whatever the presenting circumstance.

    Private surveillance, whether it be for personal, private or corporate reasons is the most focused and proactive approach to investigation. However, to ensure that requirements are fully fulfilled, it is crucial to fully discuss requirements with an experienced investigator before instructing.

    Since first established in 1977, Research Associates London UK have developed a reputable network of highly reliable observation professionals throughout the UK and worldwide, as well as maintaining our own private teams in the Greater London area. Research Associates observation teams London are made up of males and females of varying ages and from wide-ranging backgrounds to best blend in. Our surveillance operatives also do no other investigative task; surveillance is all they perform, on a day-to-day basis. Research Associates believe it is vital that only trained personnel, rather than general investigators or other third parties, conduct professional surveillance tasks, and for this reason Research Associates only provide fully professional surveillance operatives.

    We ensure operatives are allocated to only one matter in any given day; ensuring observation tasks are manned only by fresh and alert operatives. In-house surveillance teams deploy a range of covert surveillance vehicles, including cars with built-in cameras, observation vans, licensed taxis and motorcycles, depending on the requirements of the situation.

    Research Associates’ always ensure that observed individuals remain in continuous view and are therefore remain fully documented. Where appropriate and where possible without compromise, photographs stills, or video (time and date stamped) is obtained using state-of-the-art covert equipment, which supports simultaneously recorded notes. Our reports and supporting logs are of the highest standard and are generally Court admissible* See footnote below.

    Initially we report in person, usually by telephone, our subsequent report documents the presenting situation and shows we have undertaken an ‘impact assessment’, which demonstrates we have considered the legality of the surveillance. Our report then documents a summery of the results of the observation. The accompanying ‘Observation Log’ objectively documents: Date; Time; Place and specifically what was observed. This section of our report is supported by date and time stamped video evidence, gathered covertly, where doing so will not compromise the surveillance. Our reports allow the reader to clearly comprehend both the presenting circumstance, along with the resulting evidence; whether the reader is a Court Judge in any jurisdiction, a family member or any other significant party.

    Research Associates place great emphasis on preparation for surveillance, as this typically leads to fulfilling required results. This is best accomplished through close client contact; a client usually has good insight into the subject under observation, typically based on changes in behaviour, and intimate intelligence. This information always assists with establishing precise briefing and instruction and leads us to us providing good results.
