A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.

Yes. Licensing and recording laws differ between states, so each part of the work is coordinated with a detective licensed where it takes place, under one point of contact.
The person I'm concerned about works outside Colorado City. Can surveillance follow them?
Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into St. George and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.
Can an investigation in Colorado City extend to La Verkin or Hurricane?
Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Colorado City can continue in nearby communities such as La Verkin, Hurricane, Kanab, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.
Is Arizona a one-party consent state?
Arizona generally allows a participant to record a conversation (one-party consent). Recording a conversation you're not part of is generally illegal. This is general information, not legal advice.
