I began my career in bail enforcement over 20 years ago and quickly discovered that I was naturally gifted in this field. Since then, this has been my dedicated profession.

Agents like me, often referred to as Fugitive Recovery Agents, are more commonly known in the industry as Bail Enforcement Agents. This is a serious profession, far removed from the dramatized portrayals like Duane 'Dog' Chapman; it is not a game.

I am contracted by bail bond companies to locate and apprehend fugitive suspects who have forfeited their bail. As a Bail Enforcement Agent, I operate under specific legal frameworks, as fugitives have signed contracts that waive certain rights upon forfeiture of bail. These agreements grant me more extensive rights than traditional law enforcement officers when it comes to locating and apprehending individuals. I am authorized to enter their homes, businesses, or residences to make an arrest, even across state lines.

While some agents may adopt a more aggressive approach, my methods focus on peaceful resolutions. Years of experience, coupled with comprehensive training programs, have shaped my approach, ensuring that public safety is always a top priority. I strive to conduct arrests without incident whenever possible, utilizing proven techniques to de-escalate situations and ensure a successful apprehension.

Though I aim to approach defendants calmly, informing them that they are under arrest on behalf of the bail bond company, there are times when unpredictable factors arise, making a peaceful arrest more challenging. Nonetheless, my primary goal remains a safe and effective resolution.
