Only for knowing where to look. The town keeps some local records; deeds go to the county clerk (or, in New York City, the City Register); court records are at the county. Investigators plan searches around that structure.
What should I know before hiring a private detective in Westchester County?
Most records that matter in Westchester County are kept at the county level: court files with the clerk, and deeds with the county clerk (or, in New York City, the City Register). A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.

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.

Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into New York City and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.
Can a private detective find someone who left the Town of Rye on Interstate 95?
Often. Locate work combines records research with field verification, wherever the trail leads. Moves along Interstate 95 and connecting highways are common, and investigations are coordinated across state lines with appropriately licensed detectives.
