Inside Surveillance Van Protocols

You only get one chance to set a van that can sit all day in plain sight and be nobody. If you draw heat early the street will study you back and the job is already burned. This piece breaks down decision trees for site selection, cover posture, comms discipline, and human factors inside the box. You will get plain language on cover story architecture, fatigue control, handoff patterns, and the metrics that keep the crew unseen and safe.

Park where eyes slide, not where they stop. Keep motion below the glass line and let ambient noise carry your small sounds. The van lives if the story breathes and the crew stays predictable.
