 New equipment-same methods.... February 19, 2002
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was looking for books on this subject and found this one on amazon.com. I read all the reviews and with the exception of
one, I felt this was something I needed to purchase. After receiving it, I realized that even though it was written in 1992 the methods and procedures were way ahead of it's time. While in 1992 the author touted using vhs and SLR cameras, I have found that if one simply replaces them with digital 8's and digital still photo cameras the book would still be up to date with very creative ideas on doing surveillance. I found several ideas of getting good video without compromising myself to the subject being watched. Even if you are a seasoned pro, this is something one would want in their library.
Only book on the market that specializies in one area....... July 20, 2001

After retiring from the Law Enforcement area I decided to go to work in the area I thought I knew best. I wanted to be a P.I. and learned that surveillance in the insurance industry is where the money is. I looked for literature, books and even spoke with what investigators would talk to me. Most were not happy to reveal what secrets they knew of. I got on the web and looked a little further and found Bruno's book. THIS was the only thing on the market concerning a technical manual regarding the area I was looking for. I did obtain a copy of Ralph Thomas's book on surveillance but it covered a WIDE range of areas that did not concern me. When I first read Bruno's book, I found it to be easy reading, but VERY informative since in law enforcement they do not teach us how to outfit a vehicle, much less what type of vehile to use or how to get into positon. In fact, while commissioned we used Chevrolet Corsicas to do surveillance with. While the information was good for 1992, I believe all of us in this business or trying to get into this business will agree, the methods and technology have changed considerably. I also understand that the publisher is about to get a new manuscript from Bruno on today and tommorrow's technology. I will buy that book for my library as I have this one. This is a good book for even a police officer who chased tail lights for 22.5 years! Buy the book! If you read the review from the Surveillance Guru and then read zkbeckers, one would wonder what becker had in mind. Looking at his cyber technology and the books on his wish list indicated to me he was interested in buying books on other than surveillance. My money's on Bruno. IF Becker has a better book on surveillance, I'll buy that too! Wherever I can get information, it can only help me. Bruno, I look forward to your new book!
 Don't Waste Your Hard-Earned Dollars... July 11, 2001

This thin, poorly written and edited book, provided very little serious help of any kind in my attempt to gain knowledge of this subject. Bruno repeatedly emphasizes exactly _one_ technique: buy and outfit yourself an old conversion van. Even a novice law enforcement officer could come up with a multitude of creative and common-sense techniques if equipped with even a miniscule amount of imagination.My recommendation instead? The Art of Surveillance by Kelly E. Riddle.

My coworker and I sat on the floor at the library, read this book in about 15 minutes, and were overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge Bob Bruno provides. Our only regret is that we cannot rate this book at 10 stars (AT LEAST)!!!!!Bob Bruno is the PREMIER private investigator, and should be lauded without pause for the genius of his work. The principles his book has taught us will remain with us throughout our lives. Bruno unleashes page after page of his expert knowledge in this classic example of P.I. turned Educator. This is Bob Bruno's Magnum Opus. Bob, wherever you are, we thank you.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY FORMER UNDERCOVER OFFICER May 31, 2000

After reading this short,but comprehensive, book I realised that this is the closest thing I have read to what surveillance is all about. I have had many years experience in law enforcement and this book reflects how it actually is. The methods outlined in this book are still used by Police teams in the year 2000. Congratulations to Bob Bruno for a great manual. Only problem is that it is to short (84 pages)
