Developing a team of experts that can successfully gather intelligence in the backwoods for hours, days or weeks at a time requires officers who show real commitment and a leader with vision. Former Special Forces officer and counterintelligence agent Van Ritch recognized the dire need for local law enforcement agencies to be able to cover all the ground in their jurisdictions and wrote this book for any organization or individual who needs to conduct searches or surveillance in a rural environment. In it, you will learn how to plan a mission, assemble a team, handle the environment, move covertly, maintain constant security and more. Crime doesn't stop where the pavement ends. If you must have access to every corner of your territory, you need this guide.

About the Author
Van Ritch served 22 years in the U.S. Army, where he developed its SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) school. After his army career, he began training law enforcement officers at the North Carolina Justice Academy. While observing federal, state and local law enforcement agencies struggle with the hunt for Eric Rudolph, the prime suspect in the 1996 Olympics bombing in Atlanta, Ritch determined that successfully operating in rural areas needed to be a training priority.

An Untapped Source,

This review is from: Rural Surveillance: A Cop's Guide to Gathering Evidence in Remote Areas (Paperback)
Van Ritch has written a book that will take law enforcement surveillance capabilities to another level. The techniques from mission planning to execution are detailed and easily understood. This is NOT ANOTHER TACTICAL BOOK that most in special operations have already read. This is a book that will open the parameters for tactical surveillance and intelligence gathering.
