What surveillance means in private investigation
The discreet observation and documentation of a person, place, or activity. In practice, the exact method depends on the case objective, available information, legal boundaries, and the reporting standard needed by the client or attorney.
Why it matters
Clear terminology helps clients understand what they are asking for and what an investigator can document. It also helps avoid confusing opinion, suspicion, and verified facts.
