From tracking down a fugitive who is avoiding bail to taking them into custody, a bounty hunter combines private detective work with law enforcement and some physicality. Fugitive recovery agent jobs are well-suited for someone who can be law-abiding and ethical in a profession that is highly unregulated. It’s a high-risk industry with a salary that doesn’t always reflect that risk. Job Description
The job of a bounty hunter is to find an individual who's skipped a court hearing, forfeited any posted bail and whose whereabouts are unknown to the authorities. They often perform surveillance to find a fugitive, make arrests and bring fugitives back to the proper authorities. These bail enforcement agent jobs require bounty hunters to abide by state and federal laws, and not engage in criminal behavior. In exchange for lawfully apprehending a fugitive, a bounty hunter typically receives a percentage of the stated bail. Fugitive recovery agent jobs are very high-risk and dangerous, and often mean long and irregular hours.
