BLI Fugitive Apprehension Team

The person who assured you that they would make their court appearance is missing, leaving you on the hook for 100% of the bond amount. For all you know, the defendant has already made it to the neighboring state or farther. Now, what do you do? This is where you hire an experienced fugitive recovery agent to track the defendant down and save your money.

A few of the different services provided by our team are:

BLI Fugitive Apprehension Team (also known as bounty hunters) locate and retrieve fugitives who have fled to avoid court appearances. Many of them have law enforcement backgrounds, giving them experience and knowledge that puts them a step ahead of bail jumpers. 

Our Agents are trained in self-defense, research, persuasion, and trickery to capture fugitives instead of resorting to physical force. Their methods for locating and capturing defendants can include:

 

  • Background checks
  • Criminal record checks
  • Surveillance
  • Contacting friends and relatives to persuade them to disclose the defendant’s location or get them to convince the person to surrender
  • Tricks such as telling the defendant he or she has won a contest and needs to collect the prize
  • Entering the fugitive’s property without a warrant to make the re-arrest

Who Hires Fugitive Recovery Agents?

Bail agents are the largest employer of fugitive recovery agents, but they aren’t the only ones who hire them. 

People who have paid the full bail amount for their friend or family member or who have put their property up for collateral only to have the person skip town also occasionally hire bounty hunters to return the person for their court date. 

Bounty Hunters have also been contracted by Federal, State Municipalities to locate and apprehend violent fugitives and escaped inmates over the years.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Fugitive Recovery Agent?

Costs to hire fugitive recovery agents vary. Many agencies will charge flat fees for individual services such as skip tracing. For locate-and-apprehend jobs, they will often base their fees on a percentage of the total bond amount, plus money for costs such as travel expenses.
