`This can be achieved using various techniques including miniature surveillance cameras with 24-hour recording capability, strategically positioned fluorescent powders, covert surveillance or the use of undercover operatives.
`We can also provide a 24-hour security service involving mobile or static patrols and escorts.'
Mr Reid said there had been a number of notable armed robbery investigations which had included Knight-land personnel.
