Authority of Bail Bond Agents So, what authority do bail bond agents have? Bail bond agents can carry firearms (like regular citizens) and make arrests in California. However, they do not have the same power as police officers to investigate crimes, enforce traffic laws, or cordon off specific areas.
Contact a Bail Bondsman: If a non-custodial parent is arrested for unpaid child support and needs to post bail to secure their release, the first step is to contact a reputable bail bondsman or agency, such as Gotham Bail Bonds. They will assess the case and determine the amount of the bail bond required.
You can withdrawl your agreement by calling the bondsman and telling them that you no longer want to be on the bond as you feel the ``criminal'' will not show up to court. You can sign off of the bail but they may arrest your friend.
