Background Check and Disqualifications A clean background is crucial. You cannot have any felony convictions. If you have a felony on your record, you are automatically disqualified from becoming a bail bonds agent.
Step 1: Call a bail bonds agent. The full name of the person arrested. Which jail they are in. Their booking or report number. The charges they are accused of. Any extra information you can gather regarding this arrest.
A: In California, bail bondsmen, often referred to as bounty hunters, have specific rights under the law, but these rights are not absolute. If someone has skipped bail, a bail bondsman has the authority to apprehend them, but this authority is limited when it comes to entering a private residence.
Before giving us a call, make sure you have the following information handy: The full name of the person who was arrested. Where is the person being held for custody (you should include the name of jail, city, and county) The person's booking number.
The minimum education requirement to become a bounty hunter is usually a high school diploma. An undergraduate degree is not usually required, although many schools are beginning to offer bounty hunting courses and programs.
Postsecondary Training Some college-level course work in criminal justice and psychology and training in law enforcement techniques are helpful. Many of todays bail bondsmen have college degrees in criminal justice, although that is not a requirement.
The bail bond agent will need you to sign some paperwork in order for you to secure their services. This usually means paying an amount to the agent, usually a percentage of the total bail amount, and signing off on any collateral for the bond.
It pays well Although you may not become rich over night while working as a bail bondsman, the earning potential in this career is great. For instance, a bail bondsman working as a part-time agent by just writing three or four bonds a month can make enough income to replace a full-time paying job.
