Fugitive Recovery Agent

A Fugitive Recovery Agent, often called a bounty hunter, is a professional hired to locate and apprehend individuals who have skipped bail or failed to appear in court. They work closely with bail bondsmen, using investigative skills and resources to find these individuals and bring them back to face legal proceedings. Their role is to ensure that defendants fulfill their court obligations, helping the justice system operate smoothly. They must follow legal protocols and often operate with the authority granted by law, but they do not have the same powers as law enforcement officers.
