To assist you we have posted the most frequently asked questions.
WARNING: This is a No Spin Zone, brutally honest and dreaded by some, a must read for those investing in Bail Enforcement Training, there is a lot of frank, to the point information here from America's oldest and most experienced Bail Enforcement trainers....
Established in 1997 the Bail Enforcement Academy® is a unique training program registered with the U.S. Trademark Office and is Police Officers Standards & Training (POST) approved. It is not and never has been a "weekend seminar". Our curriculum is not limited to fulfilling minimal requirements, its is for the purpose of training well qualified, employable, professional Bail Enforcement Agents (BEA). Unlike a weekend "class", we are a lifetime program of support, mentorship, and professional networking. With a long legacy of successful graduates, we are the National Leaders in Bail Enforcement Training with the most experienced trainers in the USA today.
A Proven Track Record - We have proven our ability to train high quality BEA's, for teaching investigative skills that exceed the industry standard, we have established our reputation with the industry. Many employers in this industry will settle for no less than our graduates. You must be able to compete with the competition, this business is all about locating fugitives. Our methods are the most proven in existence 12+ years of application by our graduates and unique enough to receive a US Trademark. The skills learned are proven our professional graduates year after year, including a million dollar bond a few years back.
Unmatched Experience - The Bail Enforcement Academy® utilizes the most experienced trainers in the industry and with 12+ years of experience you will definitely not be our first class. Besides presenting our exceptional classroom presentation, since we are a life time source of assistance for graduates, that assistance comes from the most experienced of resources assistance you can count on in the future.
Never Ending Networking, Mentorship, and Continuing Education - You are not on your own after your workshop, you will need assistance with your early cases and on occasion with difficult cases throughout your career. Besides presenting our exceptional classroom presentation, since we are a life time source of assistance for graduates, that assistance comes from the most experienced of resources assistance you can count on in the future. Additionally you will be associating and networking with experienced fulltime professionals, an opportunity found nowhere else.
The didn't waste their time with the minimum training they could find. They possess the ability to provide the services demanded by this industry, locate and apprehend fugitives, consistently, discreetly, and without incident. We know what the bondsmen want and expect, Bail Bond Agents attend our classes all the time.
Almost without exception, States that require training limit those requirements to legal knowledge and in some cases weapons certification. No state requires ability, specifically the ability to investigate and locate fugitives. Unfortunately the end result is an agent that is unqualified for employment.........with a license. There is no financial future for such agents. Most do not renew their licenses, there are no cases for the unskilled.
Bail Bond Agents, Private Investigators, former Law Enforcement, and people from almost every field. Our students choose us after careful evaluation. Potential students carefully evaluating their choices find no comparison in their success stories and experiences. We are the most recommended program in the business, period.
Networking is essential to your success as a BEA. Your very first case may well be through networking with fellow graduates. Consisting of both Bail Bond & Bail Recovery Agents, our Alumni is committed to each other for assistance and networking nationwide. This opens opportunities not available elsewhere. Do you have a access to so many working professionals now?
With all of our experience, all our teaching skills, we cannot teach you what you need to know in one weekend. Even in 2 weekends, if filled with state weapons classes, you would be ill prepared. Such programs are for profit and a waste of money for those serious about being successful. We would not be entering our 13th year if we had be selling such garbage. In the past decade we have seen the come and go, taking the money of the naive with them. No program lasts that doesn't train you well enough to become employed. Ask a Bail Bond company if they are impressed with weekend training programs before you enroll in one. Feel free to check our reputation as well.

Confrontational police tactics have little to do with the discreet methods of a professional, most of these exploitive "schools" are created purely for profit by off-duty law enforcement individuals, former paint ball trainers, retired military, gun ranges, and occasionally, felons ineligible for licensing. Usually with little or no experience in Bail Enforcement and cashing in on the industries current popularity. A quick visit to YouTube and there they target naive firearms and tactical buffs looking to become part of a "Bounty Hunter High Risk Recovery Task Force" or something similar sometimes even offering to include "hostage negotiation training".
The best we have heard? After a two day "academy", according to its "founder" besides becoming a crackerjack bounty hunter, you are ready to take on the Somali Pirates!. 2009 quote: "I would have people, through the academy that we have right now -- and we are training our people in counterterrorism, in maritime law and maritime counterterrorism"; we assume these lucky graduates will be well paid; same source in 2002: "needs $25 million just to buy weaponry, establish contacts and hire a "capable team" to track bin Laden".
One video game style website states that in just one weekend, in a motel meeting room, you will become an expert in "urban warfare, tactical team strikes, reconnaissance behind enemy lines without detection" and on and on. Of course you will need your urban warfare bounty hunter gear, these organizations usually sell lots of "Bail Enforcement" tactical equipment and you will learn in your "training" the absolute necessity of buying this merchandise.
Such "programs", creating the myth its all about tactical training actually "confirm and validate" their inability to understand the bail bond industry. With no Bail Enforcement experience other than as a self appointed "Bail Recovery Instructor" they are apparently unaware of the industries desire to conduct discreet minimal liability apprehensions when required.
A well trained professional Bail Enforcement Agent whom actually has and does "walk the walk" does not need and does not use SWAT tactics to capture a fugitive, let alone run around wearing SWAT uniforms and nomex hoods as depicted on these SWAT Clown Websites. Please.......this is both ridiculous and highly undesired by the Bail Bond Industry.
These "field operations training programs" are basically appealing to would be "Rambo's" whom are not likely to ever find employment or any use for this "training". One such "Bail Gladiator Academy" adorned with embedded "Kevlar Clown Teams playing SWAT" videos and childish audio gunshots. Most have a curriculum that is over 80% weapons & defense training. Without exception recognized professionals in this field view such "courses" very negatively, often referred to as "SWAT Clown Training". For actual live fire firearms training we refer our graduates to real experts whom are both nationally recognized as such and utilized by Law Enforcement Agencies. We do however thoroughly cover the legal issues and realistic use of firearms in the profession.
FACT: It's all a show! Actual bail enforcement agents, especially the accomplished professionals are expected to be both effective and very discreet and DO NOT dress up as SWAT members, ever. The last thing the Bond Agencies desire is to have their recently hired SWAT clowns surrounded by very angry, real Police Officers on the 6 O'clock News.
FACT: The real professionals that make up this industry DO NOT network or affiliate with LE wannabee SWAT CLOWNS.
The biggest consideration of all: Will I be competitive and employable after attending ? Bail Recovery Training is a consumer beware environment, with all the media and Hollywood attention and the resulting public enthusiasm out there are lots of ways to waste your money.
Your Training is Your Resume, Invest with Knowledge: There are traveling weekend or minimal state requirement classes out there, very often provided by unsuccessful BEA's , convicted felons (Google any name or site url with "scam", "arrested", "jail" etc), and those with totally fabricated experience claims. There are instructors out there ready to teach you with as little as 2 years of part time experience "doing the little bonds" or none at all. Do your research, be sure the program is industry accepted. Wise consumers should research the websites address at Consumer Complaints Board, ScamChecker, or the Better Business Bureau
Most states, Washington State for example have zero experience or requirements at all for those providing Bail Recovery Training. Many of those resources are provided by unaccomplished Bail Recovery Agents desperately giving "training income" a shot before "retiring". Even suspension of their Bail Recovery license does not prohibit these "experienced" trainers from getting on the DOL referral list.
We have been the #1 training provider as long as we can remember based on our performance not because we are on a list, or the least expensive, but because of our reputation for successful graduates!
The Bail Enforcement Academy policy requires five years minimal of full time bail enforcement experience of all our Instructors, with less experience they have not "seen everything" to the degree necessary to mentor our students.
Is it training or a show? You are paying a lot of money for your seat, some two day "shows" cost as much or more than our life time program.
Recommendations - "It was a great class, I had fun" etc but NO MENTION of actually getting ANY work afterwards. Was it expensive entertainment or training? Do graduates go on to successful careers after attendance? See if you can find some successfully employed graduates, insist on verifiable references from employed graduates, and verify them. If that's "confidential" we wonder why, not even a few? Ours are easy to find, check the web for more. Are they recommended by Bail Bond Agents themselves as trainers? Ask around! How long have they been teaching bail enforcement? Verify! Former successful students you can contact ? If not why ?
Are you paying for Bail Recovery experience? Retired law enforcement is not bail recovery experience, we know they attend our program frequently and agree. Make sure you evaluate and verify the teaching experience required for what you paying for: Bail Enforcement Training.
Any training investment boils down to the experience of the instructors and the quality of their curriculum. We have proven ours for approaching 13 years, at the Bail Enforcement Academy you can be assured of both.
It is not without reason we always been, since 1997, America's #1 Trainer of Successful BEA's
Yes - If are a law abiding citizen that respects the law: The Bail Enforcement Academy® is a unique training program registered with the U.S. Trademark Office and protected by U.S. Federal Laws. Established in 1997 we are the first & only genuine BAIL ENFORCEMENT ACADEMY®. When we started our program 1997, being both ethical and responsible we chose an original name for this organization, "The Bail Enforcement Academy". Nowhere did the Bail Enforcement Academy exist past or at the time, it is our identity as an organization. When we began teaching our course in various States we presented the program as the California Bail Enforcement Academy in California, the Pacific Northwest Bail Enforcement Academy in Washington, the Nevada Bail Enforcement Academy in Nevada etc.
Beware ! Because of our success we are the most counterfeited Bail Enforcement Program on the web !
The genuine BAIL ENFORCEMENT ACADEMY® is a lifetime mentorship program, not a weekend show.

parasitism:
par·a·sit·ism
association ;
especially : one in which a
parasite obtains benefits from an unwilling host.
We are unaware of any ethically challenged individual(s) or organization displaying this activity that had actual honest training experience, ability, knowledge or skills useful to ones pursuit of real training. We always felt it is morally reprehensible to take a tuition fee from someone trying to become a working professional in this field with the full knowledge that the training program rarely if ever has done so. Further, all professionals universally agree, convicted felons have no place in bail enforcement what so ever let alone as "trainers".
