Your Vallejo Private Investigator for Surveillance and Investigations

Our Vallejo 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 Vallejo
As a Vallejo 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
We follow the subject by vehicle through Vallejo and beyond, keeping distance and cover so they never know we are there.
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.
The average commute in Vallejo is about 36 minutes, so work-related surveillance often means following a route, not waiting at one address.
