Local considerations
Investigative considerations in Charlotte Harbor.
Quiet streets and visible routines
Charlotte Harbor is largely residential, at about 1,827 residents per square mile. Residential streets leave few places to wait unnoticed, so surveillance is timed to the moments that matter, such as departures, arrivals and regular appointments.
Highways and regional travel
Interstate 75 runs through or near Charlotte Harbor. Subjects in a mobile surveillance often leave town on these routes, so plans account for highway speeds, exits and where the work could cross into another jurisdiction. The same routes matter for locates: people who move frequently tend to follow them.
Seasonal and second homes

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