Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Surveillance Detection Route (SDR)?

A Surveillance Detection Route (SDR) is a planned series of stops and deviations from a direct path, used to determine if you are being followed. It involves visiting multiple locations naturally to see if the same person or vehicle reappears.

How can I use everyday places for an SDR?

You can use places like malls or large stores (e.g., Home Depot, Macy's) for mini-SDRs. Move between unrelated departments to force a potential tail to follow you into confined spaces, making them easier to spot.

What are simple SDR techniques for driving?

For driving, a simple SDR involves going around a single block or taking an unexpected turn. If a vehicle continues to follow you after these deviations, it's a strong indication you are being tailed.

Why is an SDR important for home safety?

Criminals often target individuals based on visible wealth. Using an SDR before arriving home helps ensure you are not being followed, which is a critical defense against 'follow-home' robberies and potential home invasions.
