Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into Roanoke and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.

Often. Locate work combines records research with field verification, wherever the trail leads. Moves along Interstate 81 and connecting highways are common, and investigations are coordinated across state lines with appropriately licensed detectives.
Can an investigation in Daleville extend to Cloverdale or Hollins?
Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Daleville can continue in nearby communities such as Cloverdale, Hollins, Blue Ridge, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.
