The Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter, also known as a bail enforcement agent, is a professional who tracks down and captures individuals who have skipped bail after being released from jail. When someone posts bail to secure their temporary freedom, they agree to appear in court. If they fail to do so, a bounty hunter can locate them, often working with or on behalf of the bail bond company, to bring them back for legal proceedings. The bounty hunter’s compensation is typically a percentage of the bail amount, making their role essential in the pre-trial legal process.
