Bail Recovery Agents
Bail Recovery Agents, also known as bounty hunters, are professionals who locate and apprehend individuals who have skipped bail. When a person is released from jail on bail, they agree to return for their court date. If they fail to do so, the bail bond company may hire a recovery agent to find and return them, often for a fee.
These agents typically work independently or for a bail bond company. They use various methods, including surveillance and background checks, to track down fugitives. Their role is crucial in ensuring that the bail system functions effectively and that individuals fulfill their legal obligations.
