- APPREHENDING BAIL FUGITIVES:
-
- The Business of Finding and
Taking Bond Forfeiture
- Defendants
into Custody
-
-
- In this last decade,
the business of bail enforcement has changed and
it continues to change at break-neck speed.
This inherently dangerous but highly
lucrative type of assignment captures the
imaginations of many people who do not know
where to acquire a working knowledge of this
industry in which bail fugitive investigators work.
This course is designed to teach and
develop basic operating techniques and
methodologies while contracting with bail bond
agencies to apprehend defendants who have failed
to appear for bond secured court dates.
The course of instruction will introduce
topics from skip tracing through surveillance
methods, legal and ethical aspects as well as
closing a bail investigation assignment.

- "Scott gave
me a copy of his book. I was very
impressed and even learned some new tricks! I have
read other *books* from individuals who *claim*
they are *Leaders* in this Biz and have found that
they are full of bullshit! Scott's manual is the
*Real Thing* for individuals just getting started
in this Profession. He cuts through the hype and
bullshit and gives you the straight stuff. I would
HIGHLY recommend this manual to any individual who
is considering this Profession!"

- “One word Scott. Excellent. You are giving
good sound advice, and it's presented in a way
that is easy to read and understand. I've read
MANY books on the subject and have found most to
be very boring and monotonous. It's very
refreshing to finally find someone that is
articulate as well as knowledgeable.
I'm going to make it required reading for
my agents, and with your permission, I'd like to
use it in a school I'm going to be doing for
Florida agents. Your perspective on marketing is
just great. You explain those aspects in a way
that I have been unable to do with my people. And
I must say, I learned a couple things myself that
I have already implemented as of today.
Thanks Scott.”
