Bail Bounty Hunters: Everything You Need to Know
24/7 Bail Bond Services You Can Count On
Most people may have become acquainted with bounty hunters through what they’ve seen on reality television. Professional bounty hunters are more than just what you have seen on your living room screen; they are serious professionals sent after defendants who have
failed to appear at their court dates after their bail was posted by a bail bonds company. It is crucial for the accused to arrive at court as scheduled on their specified trial date, or risk a visit from the local bounty hunter.
Bounty Hunter Basics
Did you know that bounty hunters must follow different rules in every single state? All bounty hunters perform the same basic task of locating someone who has skipped their trial and bringing them to the police; however, there are varying restrictions and qualifications that bounty hunters must meet around the country. In Connecticut specifically, professional bounty hunters are required to get a special license from the Commissioner of Public Safety, as well as complete 20 hours of criminal justice training and 8 hours of firearm training. All of these requirements are in place to ensure that bounty hunters are as prepared as possible to safely handle any situation they may encounter.
Avoid the Bounty Hunter- and Other Consequences
Most people would probably prefer to avoid a visit from the bounty hunter- and it’s a simple thing that is 100% in the defendant’s control. As long as the accused shows up at their scheduled court date, there is no reason for them to have an encounter with a bounty hunter. If you are the cosigner of a bail bond for your loved one, encourage them to appear for the court date and remind them of the consequences for not doing so, including a visit from a bounty hunter, failure to appear charges, and the loss of collateral in the case of
secured bail bonds. If you have more questions,
