Highland Park Gold Line Private Investigator FAQs
Can you follow subjects onto Metro trains?
Yes. Our investigators carry TAP cards and conduct legal surveillance on public transit. Following someone onto a train is no different than following them down a public street.
Do you investigate Metro employee fraud?
We handle private cases only. Metro employee investigations require their internal authorization. We can investigate claims involving Metro (slip-and-fall, accidents) but not Metro staff directly.
Can you meet clients arriving by Gold Line?
Absolutely. We meet at the station plaza or Tierra Mia Coffee (5714 N Figueroa), two minutes from the platform. Just text when you're approaching Highland Park Station.
Do you cover all Gold Line stations?
We primarily serve the Highland Park to Chinatown corridor. Extended coverage to Pasadena, Azusa, and East LA available—just takes longer to deploy.
Is station parking safe for surveillance vehicles?
We rotate multiple vehicles through the Metro lot and street parking for extended surveillance. No vehicle sits in one spot long enough to draw attention.
What if my case involves multiple Metro lines?
Gold Line connects to all other lines at Union Station. We can follow subjects across the entire Metro system if needed.
How do I verify you're licensed?
Check our license through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) verification system.
