Surveillance team members
Tailers is the plural of tailer—someone or something that follows closely behind.
In fishing, a tailer is a fish (especially a salmon) that shows its tail above water, or a hook designed to catch such fish.
In surveillance contexts, tailers are people who shadow a target: The suspect noticed the tailers and ducked into an alley.
