The person I'm concerned about works outside Satellite Beach. Can surveillance follow them?
Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into Melbourne 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 Brevard County?

A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.
Can an investigation in Satellite Beach extend to Indian Harbour Beach or South Patrick Shores?

Cost depends on the type of work and how much field time it needs. Records research is often a flat fee; surveillance is usually billed hourly plus expenses such as mileage. You'll get a written estimate before work begins. See what a private detective costs.
