Mission Statement
At ESTC, we are very concerned with the privacy of each and every citizen. Everything we teach is legal, ethical, and complies with State, Local, and Federal laws. Our company does not install covert devices for citizens or for law enforcement agencies. We are the ONLY Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services certified training firm that teaches personnel about the art of covert surveillance and electronic surveillance methods.
We include several hours of lecture that focuses on the 4th Amendment, privacy laws, and when a court order or search warrant may be needed. We are the only surveillance firm that has had its training agenda reviewed and approved by a retired DOJ Civil Rights Attorney who is employed by the ACLU. Additionally, one of our Instructors is a current Civil Rights Judge who reviews and approves each lesson plan to ensure everything we teach is legal and ethical. We are also the only Virginia based training firm that is DCJS Certified, insured, and certified to award DCJS in-service credit hours.
That being said, we believe, "Bad cases create bad case law" and "one illegal intercept will spoil an apple that will eventually spoil the entire bunch". Nothing we teach is illegal, unethical, or bias based. We do not teach how to hack into computers or anything that could be considered computer or electronic trespass.
We committed to results: When we work with you, we ensure you receive the best training possible. The equipment you receive at the end of the course is second to none. Our instructors not only provide you with instruction, but also equip you with numerous technical tools, cameras, and other items that will make you successful. Simply put, our success is measured by your success. We take this very seriously and that's why we invest whatever resources are needed to make you successful.
Our experience:
All of our instructors have either worked for, or presently work for State and Federal law enforcement agencies. Additionally, some of our instructors presently have Security Clearances and some possess TS/SCI clearances with lifestyle polygraph.
