NEVADA LAW: Bounty Hunter-Bail Enforcement Agent

[Anthony Bridgestone]

All bond agents and their agents must be licensed. Nev. Code §§ 697.090, 697.180.

To obtain a license, a bail enforcement agent must be at least 21 years old, be a U.S. citizen, have a high school diploma or equivalent, have no felony record, pass a psychological examination, pass a written examination, and pass a drug test. Nev. Code §§ 697.173, 697.200 (written examination), 697.186 (letter from police saying no criminal record).

Bounty hunter also must take a training class within nine months of being hired as a bounty hunter. Nev. Code § 697.177.

After making an arrest, bail enforcement agent must notify the local law enforcement agency of the jurisdiction in which the defendant was apprehended of his identity, the identity of the defendant, and where the defendant is being taken to be surrendered into custody.

Before forcibly entering an inhabited dwelling, a bail enforcement agent must notify the local law enforcement. Nev. Code. § 697.325.

I am willing to relocate to become a bounty hunter. Does this help me in any way to find a job easier. And if so, what should i do to help further along my quest for employment? I am willing to learn and quick to pick up on things. If that helps me in any way, please let me know.


Very appreciative,

Steve Fleming

Steve,

As this is information specific to your file, you would be best served emailing it to usa@ipiu.org. Then they can add it to your personal file, (which is where you want it to be) and then go from there. :)

Be sure you continue reading the information in the forums, as many of your questions will be answered here. I have found many tips, and invaluable information within the posts. ;)

Hope this helps a little.

WOW, There are plenty of regulations. Is there a particular book that would assist me with other NRS regulations? Statutes must be changing all the time. How do we keep up with them?

Thanks,
S. Philbrook

ps - I am new to this and very interested in all NEVADA regulations.

Hi,
If you go to the NV DOI, http://www.doi.state.nv.us/ there is a link to all of the revised statutes. It is http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/Index.cfm and there are quite a bit there.

Hope that helps some. :)

I assume that bounty hunter work is pretty dangerous. What are the normal wages? I am moving to Nevada in 2 months with my wife and would like to know more about it.

Yes.

Try contacting the office which licenses and ask them for a list of courses they can refer you to. Then post them here so that we can check them out for you.

[Alan J Krutz -]

[Charles Sweany]

Thank you Joel Carson, I have been looking for that web site for a long time. And you are right, it will help.

[Alan J Krutz -]

welcome aboard Charles....you may also get some answers on classes at Community College of Southern Nevada 702-651-3000...they conduct some pre-licensing classes which you might need to take....good luck..AJ

[Joel Carlson Jr -]

You're welcome Charles. The NRS codes were revised this year and are now 2005 instead of 2001. Most of the courses are located in Las Vegas so it makes it a little challenging for those of us up north. Welcome and good luck with your indeavors.
