Fugitive Recovery Agent
A Surety Company or Bail Bonds Company will submit a case. Then, we work to connect them with the Fugitive Recovery Agent that fits their needs.
HOW WE WORK
We have a database of Fugitive Recovery Agents (also known as Bounty Hunters) nationwide. We specialize in California, but CA Agents often find themselves with a Defendant needed to be located outside the state, so our database continues to grow. In an effort to create stronger collaborations, we index Fugitive Enforcement Teams, independent Enforcement Agents and Bail Bonds Business Owners. Consideration is made as to locations and approximate time needed to travel for any given assignment, liability amounts, team size, special skills, preferences in terms of armament. We want to know the Fugitive Recovery’s certifications, we want to know what certifications are needed for the assignment/s. We also like to get to know the working style & approach to forfeitures of both Fugitive Recovery and Bail Company Owners. For instance, Fugitive Recovery, what is your investigation style (surveillance, skip tracing, interviewing)? Bail Co-Owners: what’s your attitude on a forfeiture – do you like to hand-off to Recovery Agent right away, or to resolve internally, and give the defendant an opportunity to reassume the bond?
DOING YOUR PART:
1) Recovery Agents: submit your credentials & service areas & approach.
2) Sureties/Bail Companies: submit your case, forfeiture, need & approach.
3) EmployCollab: review the case, look for match or matches – connect with the ideal Fugitive Recovery Agent or Team.

Requirements
Bail Bonds Companies & Sureties: willingness to put agreed-upon fees into an escrow account – this will ensure the Fugitive Recovery Agent is paid-in-full upon safely returning the defendant to custody.* (*not required; by request of Fugitive Recovery Agent or at the discretion of EmployCollab) Fugitive Recovery Agents: must be in compliance with PC 1299 including Section 832 & education. Do NOT need to have a Carry Conceal Permit (Many of Our Clients Prefer Unarmed Agents in some circumstances that would be considered less dangerous). Fugitive Recovery Agents Seek caseloads with honorable bail company owners that pay as agreed and don’t put the recovery teams in harm’s way. Ideally thorough case files, but not required. Sureties & Fugitive Recovery Agents alike seek reliability, honesty, safety, and “no heroes” – do everything in their power to get the defendant into custody ideally without any injury or use of violence.
