Fugitive Recovery Association

The Fugitive Recovery Association (FRA) is a professional organization that represents individuals involved in the recovery and apprehension of fugitives—people wanted by law enforcement for skipping bail or avoiding legal proceedings. Members, often called bounty hunters, work under legal guidelines to locate, apprehend, and deliver these individuals to the justice system. The FRA provides training, standards, and support to ensure that recovery efforts are conducted safely, ethically, and within the law. Its goal is to promote professionalism and accountability in the field of fugitive recovery.
