Your Bixby Knolls Private Investigator for Surveillance and Investigations
If you need a private investigator in Bixby Knolls, Bear Witness has been documenting the truth for California clients since 1996. Bixby Knolls is a neighborhood within the City of Long Beach, in Los Angeles County. Surveillance is our specialty, and every case is handled by a licensed investigator — never a call center.

Surveillance Specialists Serving Bixby Knolls
As a Bixby Knolls 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
We hold position at the locations that matter to your case and record activity with time-stamped video.
Two-Investigator Teams
For careful or unpredictable subjects, two investigators trade off so the same car is never seen twice.
Bixby Knolls is part of Long Beach, a city of about 458,000 people across 51 square miles, so subjects here can cross into very different parts of the city in minutes. We plan Bixby Knolls surveillance around its own streets, parking, and traffic rather than Long Beach as a whole.
