Planning Access and Observation Windows
Tell us whether a location is a public street, hotel, marina, workplace or gated property and identify any access permissions you can provide. A trip between downtown and the beach can change the useful observation window; share the expected destination and appointment time as well as the starting address. If your matter involves a visitor, include arrival and departure dates so the assignment can be planned around the time available.

St. Augustine Private Investigator FAQs
Can I start an investigation while I am outside Florida?
You can begin with a remote consultation. Share the local locations, dates and available information so JRS can assess the assignment, confirm availability and agree on communication before fieldwork begins.
How much will my investigation cost?
The cost depends on the type of work, hours, travel, available starting information and reporting requirements. Request a written scope that identifies included work, expenses and how additional time is authorized.
What can I expect in the report?
Depending on the assignment, findings may include a factual timeline, investigator notes, source references and lawfully obtained photographs or video. Inconclusive observations should be identified rather than presented as proof. Discuss your attorney's requirements during intake if the material is intended for a legal matter.
Is a bug sweep included with surveillance or background research?
A TSCM inspection is a separate technical assignment. Identify the property or vehicle, access arrangements and specific concern so the inspection scope and quote can be confirmed. No single inspection can guarantee the absence of every device at every later time.

St. Augustine investigation questions about Florida law
Can I put a GPS tracker on my spouse's car in Florida?
Generally no. Florida Statute 934.425 makes it unlawful to install a tracking device or application on another person's property without their consent, with limited exceptions. A licensed investigator documents activity through lawful surveillance instead. Ask an attorney about your specific situation.
Can I record my spouse's conversations in Florida?
Florida is an all-party consent state. Under Florida Statute 934.03, recording a private conversation generally requires the consent of everyone involved, and violations can be a felony. Evidence gathered unlawfully can also harm your case.
Do you serve all of St. Johns County?
Yes. JRS Investigations accepts assignments in St. Augustine and throughout St. Johns County, Florida, subject to the lawful scope, scheduling and access each case requires. Every matter begins with a confidential consultation.
Do you cover Ponte Vedra and the rest of St. Johns County?
Yes. St. Augustine cases often extend to Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Augustine Beach, World Golf Village and north toward Jacksonville. Coverage follows the subject's lawful public movements across St. Johns and Duval counties when needed.
