Observation is kept short and tied to known schedules, and much of the background work happens through county records rather than in the field.
Highways and regional travel
Interstate 80, Interstate 90 and Interstate 75 run through or near Maumee. 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.
