bail enforcement

Bail enforcement involves specialists, often called bounty hunters or skip tracers, who locate and apprehend individuals who have skipped bail—meaning they failed to appear in court after being released on bond. When a defendant doesn't show up, the court can revoke their bail, and the bail bond company hires these professionals to find and return the person, ensuring they face their court obligations. Bail enforcement combines investigative tactics with legal authority, operating under specific regulations, to maintain the integrity of the bail system and ensure defendants fulfill their court commitments.
