City blocks and busy streets

Pompano Beach has about 4,743 residents per square mile. In blocks like these, surveillance usually needs more planning: parking is limited, buildings have several entrances, and people move by transit or on foot. A second detective is sometimes the difference between keeping someone in view and losing them at a corner, so that choice is discussed when scope and cost are set.

Highways and regional travel

Interstate 95 runs through or near Pompano Beach. Highway access means a routine can take someone well outside town in minutes. Mobile surveillance is staffed and timed with that in mind, and locate work follows the same corridors.

Seasonal and second homes
