How do You Become a Bounty Hunter
Bounty hunters are also known as bail enforcement agents and are the people that ‘hunt’ for fugitives that are under bail.
Considering this, becoming a bounty hunter is an extremely dangerous type of job.
Criminals under bail have the tendency to escape from being called into court or trial or skip out on the bail entirely, thus exists the need to bring these criminals to justice and the person that does that is the bounty hunter or bail enforcement agent.
Before you can even consider becoming a bounty hunter you must first educate yourself on the essentials and requirements as well as the bail law. The entire profession of becoming a bounty hunter will circulate around the bail law and it is best to know it like you would the back of your hand. You may do this by making your own research or you can take classes and seminars that focus on bounty hunting. Also there are online courses you may consider to take on the internet as well as sample assessments you can take to be able to measure your skills in the field.
Not only is it important to have the necessary education and knowledge, you will also need to learn hands on and garner practical experience in the field, and this is best accomplished by having a mentor. The best type of mentor is naturally one that is already an experienced bounty hunter. If you cannot find one willing to train you then you can always take apprenticeship at a company or office that specializes in bounty hunting and its equivalents.
Once you are competent in your skills be it clerical, practical or educational, you may now consider application for a license. Depending on the state and location you plan on working at, you will need to assess the specific requirements that the local government will require from you. To apply for licensure you will most likely need to take a quiz, exam or assessment so it is best to only apply for a license once you feel completely competent in your abilities. Though it is not a strict necessity it will always be more preferred by potential clients to hire a licensed bounty hunter rather than an unlicensed one.
Usually in becoming a bounty hunter you will not be one working alone rather in groups or teams. You may still consider however putting up your own bounty hinting business rather than teaming up with other groups of bounty hinters or bondsmen. Again this all depends on your personal preferences though it may be more difficult to garner credibility as well as obtain clients if you plan on start bounty hunting from scratch.
Bear in mind as well, the required skills needed from a bounty hunter. These include but are not limited to, negotiation, apprehension techniques, networking, research, skip tracing, surveillance, and deception detection and interviewing. All of which will play a key role in your work as a bounty hunter and recovering fugitives.
