# Uncovering the facts
State of the art tactics and methods to gain insightful evidence you need.
GATHER FACTS
## Surveillance
Surveillance entails discreet close and detailed observation of a person, place or thing to gather facts that usually can’t be obtained in any other way. These observations can help prove or disprove specific elements of a case, and are useful at trial or in other less formal proceedings.
Creativity in developing tactics and methods to uncover evidence is a trait of great private investigators. At Blackfish Investigations, we have over 125 years of experience in surveillance operations. Let us put our experience to work for you.
