I have been tasked with researching spotting scopes for my agency.
What I have been asked to find is a spotting scope with high power magnification with as wide field of view as possible in the under $500 range. We are looking at buying 3-4. As always we need to get the best bang for our buck.
The primary use of these optics will be surveillance, hence the wide field of view.
I have looked at other websites but it is hard to compare different scopes in a side by side comparison of only (fov)field of view.
Any suggestions on a particular scope I should look at OR a website that allows side by side comparison of selected scopes would be helpful.

Call Eagle Optics, and they'll help you compare the variety that they carry. Google for 'em.

By the way, higher mag means smaller field of view. There's always a tradeoff.
