Why would an auditor need protection?

Because filmed encounters can escalate quickly and unpredictably. The risk is rarely the person being filmed; it is the third party who becomes angry, or the crowd that forms around the exchange.

Will the officer intervene verbally?

Only where it reduces risk. Our job is to protect you, not to conduct the audit or trade arguments with the other party.

Do you support any type of audit?

We support lawful activity. If an assignment involves trespass or targeting of individuals, we will decline it.

Auditor Protection

Auditing puts a camera in situations other people avoid. The officer standing behind that camera needs judgement far more than presence.

What this is: Auditing is public-facing, often filmed, frequently contested and occasionally hostile. Encounters escalate fast, involve third parties who did not consent to being recorded, and can attract crowds, staff, security teams and police within minutes.
Who it's for: Auditors and journalists filming in contested environments.
Where we work: Cotswolds · Gloucestershire · London · UK · Worldwide

A genuinely different assignment

Auditing is public-facing, often filmed, frequently contested and occasionally hostile. Encounters escalate fast, involve third parties who did not consent to being recorded, and can attract crowds, staff, security teams and police within minutes.

This is not a standing job. It requires an officer who can read a situation early, keep space between the client and an agitated person, avoid becoming the confrontation, and de-escalate while a camera is running.

What we bring to an audit

Our role is protective and de-escalatory. We are not there to obstruct, to argue the law on your behalf, or to add another voice to a heated exchange.

Positioning that maintains space without provoking
Early recognition of an encounter turning physical
Calm interaction with staff, security and bystanders
Managed withdrawal when a situation is no longer worth continuing
A witness account if something happens

Our position on the law

We operate lawfully and expect our clients to do the same. We will protect you; we will not assist with trespass, obstruction, harassment of individuals or anything else that crosses a legal line.
