Bounty Hunter, Or Bail Recovery Agent?

Bounty hunters and bail recovery agents are one in the same. Professionals who work in the field of bail bonds more commonly use the term "bail recovery agent", whereas television shows and pop culture more frequently use the term "bounty hunter".

A bail recovery agent is someone who would be hired by a San Gabriel Valley bail bondsman to help locate a defendant who has skipped bail. When someone bails out of jail they are still required to appear at mandated court dates. If they fail to do so, the bondsman has six months to return them to custody or face something called a bond forfeiture. If a bond is forfeited the San Gabriel Valley bail bonds company that posted it will need to pay the full amount of the bond to the court. Bail recovery agents track and apprehend fugitives, for a fee, so that this can be avoided.
