Washington State DOL Say’s No to Bounty Hunter Weekend Seminars

Bounty Hunter Weekend Seminars have always been on the internet. Having observed and attended a few they typically include a lot of hype, waving cash around like this is a quick way to get rich, swat gear and lots of video and tough guy stories. The time left over is usually the basics, similar to the information already available in the many books on the subject.

Often advertised as an “employment opportunity coming to a town near you” on craigslist, myspace, just about anywhere it's free to advertise jobs/employment opportunities on the internet.

We have never observed anyone become successful as a result of this type of training. In fact we have searched the internet and find nobody in this business whom obtained work and made a career after two whole days of training let alone is holding a "fist full of dollars".

For Washington State Bail Recovery Agent license applicants, investing in training that does not even meet Washington State minimal requirements can be a big mistake. Washington State DOL refuses to accept such training for WA Bail Recovery Agent licensing when submitted, period.

Washington State Requirements

Washington residents are required to be licensed, a process consisting of a criminal background check, training, and a written examination on Washington State laws.

In reviewing the DOL website information regarding these training requirements one does not learn of RCW 18.185.260 Section 1 until they access the study material at the website in preparation for the exam. Sometimes this isn’t until it’s too late.

RCW 18.185.260 Section 1 specifies the minimal curriculum requirement for Washington State approved Field Operations Training.

Field Operations Training is where you are supposed to learn how one conducts themselves in field, not to be entertained. You need to enter this serious field with the knowledge to perform amongst the community in a lawful manner and get the job done. This includes everything from learning the main skill required, to successfully investigative consistently, to making apprehensions safely and with minimal disturbance to the public.

Besides getting a license, successful Bail Recovery professional’s network through associations, creating a wide reach to apprehend fugitives and continued mentorship for members. It is important ones training, skill level and methods are acceptable to the industry.

Consumer Advice

Before signing up anywhere thoroughly do the following:

  • Get reputable training from reputable industry recommended sources.
  • Invest wisely, audit the hours before spend your money, do they even meet your States minimum requirements? You can contact DOL and verify this and the industry popularity of the training provided.
  • Make calls, Google, verify completely the experience and background of those you are considering as your training resource. Ask and verify with the State of issuance if they are currently licensed, and for how long? No license could be a red flag; it could be the result of false claims of experience or even a criminal record.
  • Contact their graduates and see if they received the training advertised.
  • Are they as individuals, along with their training program respected and accepted by the bonding industry?
  • And most important of all ask those graduates if they have been successful at obtaining work.

The Bail Enforcement Academy®, approaching 13 years training experience, even after being on television, has always known NOBODY can train a successful agent in 32 hours, let alone a weekend. We are a lifetime program that has been successful with that knowledge and it is a success shared by our graduates.

Bail Recovery Professional vs. Former Bounty Hunter

Former Tacoma Bounty Hunter Kevin Collins went on the lam, sticking a Washington bail agency with $25,000 in bail bonds. Figuring it “takes one to loose one” Collins was confident he could elude the bond agencies attempts to find him.

He didn’t figure he would ever meet Dave from West Coast Bail Enforcement of Olympia WA.

To his amazement that’s exactly what happened last weekend. Having become quite comfortable in Oklahoma, the fugitive was in a state of “shock & awe” when Dave & his partner surprised him in his driveway. He was in handcuffs and on a flight back to Washington the same day.

Collins was totally amazed they were able to locate him. The fugitive was immediately returned to Washington. Throughout his transport, he kept asking “how to did you ever you find me”. He will have to continue wondering.

Apparently he hadn’t heard that the capture rate for the Bail Enforcement Academy® graduates is 80% or higher……

Huge kudos to West Coast Bail Enforcement
