Private Investigator in Anaheim, CA — Surveillance Is Our Specialty
Bear Witness is the private investigator in Anaheim that families, attorneys, and businesses call when they need facts, not guesses. Anaheim is a city of about 345,000 people in Orange County. We are a veteran-owned, California-licensed firm (PI #18755), and surveillance is what we do best.
Our Anaheim clients include individuals facing infidelity or a missing family member, parents in custody and support disputes, employers and insurers dealing with fraud, and law firms that need evidence and testimony. What they share is a need for discreet, lawful surveillance that holds up.
Anaheim Surveillance Investigations: Our Specialty
As a Anaheim private investigator, surveillance is the core of what we do. We document activity legally, discreetly, and in a way that holds up in court.
Mobile Surveillance
Experienced drivers who anticipate turns and freeway exits, so your subject is documented from stop to stop.
Static Surveillance
Discreet observation of a home, workplace, or business from a lawful public vantage point, documenting who comes and goes.
Two-Investigator Teams
Team surveillance covers multiple exits and keeps a moving subject in sight in heavy Southern California traffic.
Like much of Orange County, Anaheim mixes residential neighborhoods with busy commercial corridors. We combine discreet residential positioning with mobile coverage on the roads in between.
