City blocks and busy streets
Newburgh has about 7,493 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.
Interstate access and travel
Interstate 84 and Interstate 87 run through or near Newburgh. 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.
