POLITICAL SURVEILLANCE

Political surveillance by Empire Surveillance refers to the lawful, discreet gathering of information about political figures, campaigns, or political activities to support decision-making, protect candidates, or investigate misconduct. 

What it involves

Empire can:

  1. Observe and document activities in public places— such as monitoring a candidate’s movements, events, or interactions with supporters 

  2. Conduct background checks on candidates, staff, or allies using public records, court filings, and other open sources 

  3. Perform opposition research — gathering voting records, financial disclosures, business ties, and public statements to assess political opponents

  4. Verify whistleblower claims — gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses to support allegations of corruption or misconduct 

  5. Investigate election-related issues — such as voter fraud or campaign finance irregularities

  6. Assess security risks — identifying potential threats to political figures or campaigns
