Ask The Bondsman: What Happens If I Bailed Someone Out Who Is Arrested Again?

We answer questions at Yahoo! Answers regularly. Here’s one: What happens if I co-signed a bail bond for someone who goes back to jail?

Answer: Upon co-signing the bail bond, you became responsible for a couple of things:

• to pay the fee to the bail bondsman (generally 10% in California, but this varies by state)
• to guarantee that the defendant shows up for required court cases
• to help the bondsman get the defendant back into the court system if they do not show up as required (called failure-to-appear)

Assuming the defendant you signed for is in jail based on the same case, Read more »

Glendale Police Department on Community Policing

The Glendale Police Department has utilized the policing enforcement tactics provided by the COPPS Unit (Community Police Partnership.) Community policing is not only the responsibility of the unit, but the entire agency.

Community policing is a way for the people to be able to connect with the police force, in an easy accessible manner. This allows for the community to voice their concerns in an orderly fashion and be heard.

Basically, it is a way for both the law enforcement agencies to work hand-in-hand with everyone in the community in order to prevent and solve crimes.

Community policing also works by the community’s willingness to share and educate, as well as inform others and the law enforcement agencies.

If you live in Glendale, you can Read more »

How Do I Negotiate the Price of Bail?

Question from a reader: How do bail bonds work and how do I negotiate their price? If the bond is set at $100,000, 10% would mean a price of $10.000, correct? $10.000 is a very steep price, and I’m worried that most bail bond places wouldn’t cover the amount. Could I work the price down to something around 5%?

Answer:

The bail bonds industry differs from state to state. California, for example, is regulated by the California Department of Insurance and rates are either 8% or 10%. Discuss with the bondsman what he or she can do for your case.

10% of such a large sum is a lotof money, granted, and this is made worse by the fact that you’re not going to see any of it back — it’s a fee. The risk though lies with the bondsman, and if a client skips court and cannot be located, the bail bond company is obligated to pay the amount to the courts in full. Of course, the bondsman will Read more »

I Want To Become A Bail Bondsman

Can I Open My Own Bail Agency?

Question: I am currently in law enforcement, but getting to the end of that. If I obtain my bondsman license, can I work for a bondsman such as yourself, or do I have to open my own agency. Thank you for the information from your website, it is very informative.
