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 Enfield. Can surveillance follow them?

Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into Springfield and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.

What should I know before hiring a private detective in Capitol Planning Region?

Most records that matter in Capitol Planning Region are kept at the county level: court files with the clerk, and deeds with the town clerk of the town where the property sits. A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.
