First, check with your District Attorney and find out if being a Bail Enforcement Agent (the correct term) is legal in your state. If so, then get all the education and training you can on Criminal Law, Use of Force, Weapons, Sociology, etc. that you can. Then you can apply for a license or take the licensure examination (whichever your state requires).
Do not expect it to be like "Dog, the Bounty Hunter". It is monotonous, tedious, with occasional episodes of exteme danger. If you aren't properly trained and prepared, leave the "bounty hunting" to the police.

Say, somebody gets arrested. they have bail for the can charge set at $10,000....They call a bail bondsmen. He posts a bond. Now, it is to no longer say that he places down $10,000. in money. he's oftentimes registered interior the county the place he works and data place of work work swearing that he's well worth, oh, enable's say, 4 million money, or he has supplies amounting to 4 million money and can cover the $10,000. He signs and indicators the bond and gets his "shopper" out of reformatory. on the day while the customer is meant to ensue for courtroom, he would not. Now, the courtroom needs that $10,000. the guy has skipped bond. If somebody would not tutor reliable reason for the "shopper" no longer displaying up in courtroom the bail bondsmen forfeits that bond and has to cough up $10,000. it incredibly is while the bounty hunters bypass searching for the bail jumper. The bail bondsmen rates the customer a definite share of the bond, oftentimes 10-20 consistent with cent, it incredibly is how they make their money....

Check with a licensed Bail Bondsman. We have classes here in Arkansa to get the permit. They also pursue anyone who jumps bond on them.

Differs from state to state really, id get your gun permit first, if your state requires you to obtain one then do a course on bail enforcement, which is usually required a 20 to 40 hour course, you can get more information from your states homepage or ask a local bailbondsman
