I am going to start at the police academey in Aug. and I was wondering, Can you be a police officer and still do bail recovery --like when not on duty. I know that If you find money as a police officer and turn it in, you don't get the money if its not claimed. It becomes county money--you cannot get it after a waiting period like suvillians do. Is this true for bail recovery? And if so can you run a bail recovery business as a police officer--or are you excluded all together. Thanks for your help.

It is typically considered a conflict of interest and against department policy (and sometimes State law) for sworn law enforcement to be involved in Bail Recovery.

 

If a bail recovery agent finds money in the course of his work and takes it- that would be considered theft since we do not have the right to seize property.

 

That's "academy" and "civilian"
