Local considerations
Investigative considerations in Kenhorst.
Working in a dense city
Kenhorst has about 5,135 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.

Highways and regional travel
Interstate 176, U.S. Route 222 and U.S. Route 422 run through or near Kenhorst. 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.
