CPI Surveillance & Intelligence 5

Question 1

Which of the following best describes 'link analysis' in intelligence work?

Accepted Answer

Mapping relationships and connections between individuals, organizations, or events

Answer

Link analysis visually maps associations between entities to reveal networks, hierarchies, and relationships relevant to an investigation.

Question 2

A surveillance operative notices the subject has made eye contact with them three times in 20 minutes. The correct action is to:

Accepted Answer

Immediately abort the follow and notify the team leader

Answer

Repeated eye contact is a strong indicator that the operative has been compromised; aborting protects both the operation and future legal admissibility of gathered evidence.

Question 3

In intelligence terminology, a 'cutout' is best described as:

Accepted Answer

An intermediary used to insulate two parties from direct contact

Answer

A cutout is a person or mechanism that separates two principals so that neither can directly identify or compromise the other.

Question 4

Which of the following OSINT sources would provide the most current real-time location intelligence on a subject?

Accepted Answer

Publicly tagged social media check-ins and posts

Answer

Active social media with geotagged posts and real-time check-ins can reveal a subject's current or very recent location far faster than static records.

Question 5

A surveillance team conducting a 'box' formation around a subject on foot does so in order to:

Accepted Answer

Cover all exit routes and maintain continuous observation regardless of direction changes

Answer

A box formation positions operatives on multiple sides of the subject so that direction changes do not break continuous visual coverage.
