watch for security or investigation
to watch someone or something carefully, often secretly, for official or security reasons

Từ đồng nghĩa
monitor (more common and neutral; not necessarily secret or official)
|
watch (simpler and more general)
|
observe (more neutral and less associated with security)

|
keep under surveillance (common phrase with the same official or investigative sense)
