Norco Private Investigator Services, Built Around Surveillance
Bear Witness is the private investigator in Norco that families, attorneys, and businesses call when they need facts, not guesses. Norco is a city of about 25,000 people in Riverside County. We are a veteran-owned, California-licensed firm (PI #18755), and surveillance is what we do best.
Whether you suspect a cheating spouse, need evidence for a custody or support case, are dealing with a questionable workers’ compensation claim, or represent a client who needs court-ready surveillance, our Norco investigators plan each case around the subject’s real routine and document it with time-stamped video.
Surveillance Specialists Serving Norco
Most investigations come down to one question: what is really happening? A private investigator in Norco 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

Two-Investigator Teams
Team surveillance covers multiple exits and keeps a moving subject in sight in heavy Southern California traffic.
