Surveillance Squad

Framed Edition

Subtle. Invisible. Blending seamlessly into the background.

Well… that was the plan.

Surveillance Squad is a tongue in cheek tribute to the art of covert policing. The long hours. The cold sandwiches. The pretending you are not watching someone while very obviously watching someone.

Front and centre is the most “inconspicuous” team you have ever seen. A masterclass in overthinking disguise. The idea was simple. Look normal. Look ordinary. Look like you belong.

Instead…

We have fashion statements that could stop traffic on their own.

Behind them sits the classic red Ford, the unofficial mobile office of its era. Windows cracked just enough. Engine ticking quietly. Radio turned low. One eye on the target. One eye on the rear view mirror.

And yet, despite the questionable wardrobe choices, this is a loving nod to a unit that relied not on high vis jackets or sirens, but patience. Observation. Quiet teamwork. Endless cups of tea from a flask that tasted faintly of last week.

Look closer and you will spot the details that make this piece sing. Cameras ready. Expressions that say “we are totally not obvious.” The careful positioning beside a vehicle that screams seventies stakeout energy.

Surveillance was never glamorous. It was uncomfortable. It was slow. It was sitting for hours for five seconds of action.

But when it paid off, it paid off.

This framed edition captures the humour of blending in badly while actually being very, very good at the job.

Perfect for former surveillance officers, old school plain clothes legends, or anyone who has ever said, “Just act natural,” and immediately forgotten how.

Low profile. High skill.

Available in two frame sizes, with two mount options, making it ideal for display in a home office, study, police-themed collection, or as a meaningful gift for a serving or retired officer.
