Your Fairfield Private Investigator for Surveillance and Investigations
Bear Witness is the private investigator in Fairfield that families, attorneys, and businesses call when they need facts, not guesses. Fairfield is a city of about 120,000 people in Solano County. We are a veteran-owned, California-licensed firm (PI #18755), and surveillance is what we do best.
Our Fairfield 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.
Surveillance Specialists Serving Fairfield
Most investigations come down to one question: what is really happening? A private investigator in Fairfield answers it with surveillance video, photos, and a written timeline.
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 Northern California traffic.
Like much of Solano County, Fairfield mixes residential neighborhoods with busy commercial corridors. We combine discreet residential positioning with mobile coverage on the roads in between.
