Content: Employment Requirements
Aspiring bounty hunters must be at least 18 years old in any state, and in some states, the minimum age requirement is 21 years old. Some states require only a high school or equivalent degree, but other states require training and licensing before an applicant can legally work as a bounty hunter. A criminal record may disqualify an applicant from working as a bounty hunter. Job Description
Bounty hunters are generally employed or contracted by a bail bondsman. When a person charged with a crime misses a court appearance, it is the bail bondsman's responsibility to return the criminal to justice. The bail bondsman contracts a bounty hunter to protect his interests. If the fugitive is not successfully captured, the bail bondsman stands to lose a great deal of money. 00:00
