I have talked myself into a part-time postion as a "Bail Enforcement
Officer" , a somewhat closely related endevor to my Law Enforcement
Enployment ... Good or Bad , so far I have made some decent money and made some very good contacts and 'brownie' points with some 'other' law enforcement agencies . Question : have any of you other 'gun nuts'
had any experiences in this field ????questions , comments , suggestions ????
Thanks !!!!!!
p.s. by the way I personally Do Not like the term "bounty hunter"...

    Never had the opportunity. Seems interesting though. Any stories to tell or is it pretty much just like other law enforcement work?

    A "ROSE" by any other name is still a "ROSE. [:D][}:)]

    There is a friend of my family that has been a "Bounty Hunter" for a number of years now. It's good money, and good work. He has always said that he enjoyed it.

    May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.

    In most places, trusta45, you have to go to a bail bonds agency and apply to be a "runner". They will train you and give you some tests to get you licensed but you have to pay for them, you are not actually a "bounty hunter" per se but you are given the "power of attourney" by the licensed agency to capture an individual that has skipped out on a bond. Actual bounty hunters are far and few between.

    my oldest brother was did bail enforcement after getting out of the military. It was good work for him before he became a deputy constable, and he said it was quite exciting. This was in Houston, so there was no shortage of work.
