1. How do I become a Bounty Hunter/Bail Enforcement Agent…?
In some states you are required to have a license and others you are not. To get you down the right path, most sites tell you to do your own research. That’s just wrong! We will educate you on local/state laws on what your authority is and what states demand licensing and what you can do as a licensed entity and as a sub-contractor. That is one of many reasons you need proper training. Instead of going to an imposter site who does not have the answers. The first step is to get the best training. It is the foundation of your future. This holds true in mostly any endeavor in any industry. In our courses, all questions will and can be answered. 
2. Why should I choose Bounty Hunter Training Academy?

We simply have no competition. If you truly want to succeed in this industry, read our red flags about our competition and register today.
3. Why should I not register for a cheaper course that is offered on the Internet?
Golden rule – you get what you pay for? Online gimmicks are simply rip-offs. How do you know that the party behind online have any practical background in this industry. If you are looking for a quick fix, this is not the industry for you. The Bail Bondsmen and Surety companies who are looking to hire you will be looking at where you got your training. How is online training going to help you defend you and your team members? How is it going to give you real life demonstrations? Work together effectively in team units when breaching a door, room clearance, arrest procedures, acquiring a Target, surveillance, disarming someone who has a gun pointing at you, etc. You won’t even find that at any of our competitors.
4. Is this course certified and accredited?
At the end of your training, you will be given a certificate of completion for 25 hours of training. This certificate from BHTA does go along way in the professional circles of this industry when searching from employment if you choose not to find it in the course. We are also accredited by the Department of Education from the NY Department of State.
5. What makes Bounty Hunter Training Academy the best in the Nation?
Simply because we have the best training theater in the world. Our graduates sat it the best. Compare our real testimonials against any of our competitors/imitators. We list our graduates full names and some give out their e-mails. Our attendees are not just first timers. We get very seasoned military and law enforcement veterans and seasoned Bounty Hunters & Bail Bondsmen who know where to turn to for their training. They say our courses far exceeded their expectations and was the best training they have ever experienced. The media follows us more than anyone in this industry. We have the evidence to show you on our web site and everywhere on social media. NO ONE COMPARES!
6. What is the difference between being a Bounty Hunter and a Bail Enforcement Agent…?
Absolutely nothing. Since 1998 – there have been regulations passed in this industry. We will educate on this important fact as like everything else about this industry important to know. When the regulations passed and licensing became an issue – softer terms like Bail Enforcement or Fugitive Recovery Agents cropped up and became more mainstream. Bounty Hunters have always been our name and we are damn proud of it.
7. When is the next seminar in my home town… ?
Having a course in your our home town is like hitting the lottery. The ONLY course that makes it around the country is the BOUNTY HUNTER TRAINING ACADEMY. We try our best to make it around the country to benefit everyone. It is literally impossible to be it every city and every state year round. Our elite training is in high demand due to the caliber of our training cadre and the success rate of our graduates. Courses vary all over the country. As it stands, you’ll just have to keep an eye out on our course schedules that are posted on a regular basis.
8. Isn’t it mostly Hunting Fugitives… ?
That is the overall thrust of the business, but the key word is “business.” Advertising skills, management of resources, sub-contracting arrests, local and Federal laws, contracts, etc., all play a major part of this business. Some agents need to know where it is a Felony to have anything over two-percent pepper gas in one’s possession. Or where it is actually legal to have handcuffs in your possession without a good reason. Or what to do if, when handcuffing a prisoner, they state they need their “medicine”, or a small child comes out of a room and you are handcuffing to take away the only guardian at the scene. What do you do with the child? These problems are addressed at the Institute. The complexities of this unique form of contractual arrest must be confronted and addressed daily.
9. Don’t police have to help you… ?
In a word: NOPE! Many officers will do a “keep the peace” call, just stand by in the cruiser for the effect of their presence. Many departments, however, send out advisories against their officers taking part in what is, in fact, a private arrest. In most cases, however, officers can be counted on to do a pro-active standby.
10. Do recovery agents really enter houses…?
Yes and No. We may enter the house of the subject fugitive if we can determine beyond a reasonable doubt it is his/her dwelling. We cannot enter homes of third parties or friends on “fishing expeditions”, i.e., just looking for the fugitive. The defendant gave us permission to enter his house in the bail bond contract. He, in essence, waived his rights in the contract to extradition and dwelling entry. This waiving of rights has been upheld by all high state courts and the U.S. Supreme Court (Taylor Vs Taintor).
11. Does the bail enforcement agent have a vast amount of arrest authority… ?
Yes, but in a very narrow niche, pertaining to one fugitive. That fugitive, in waiving his rights to the bonding agent, is now fair game to a bail arrest throughout the United States. The bail enforcement agent, once arresting the fugitive, is now devoid of arrest authority (save that of any citizen in a private arrest) until the bonding agent has another case for the agent.
12. How much money can someone make in this industry?
The typical percentage any Hunter makes on any given case assignment is 10% or more on the bail bond. For example, if you are given a contract from the Bail Bondsmen to hunt down John Doe for a bond of $100,000 and you bring in John Doe, your “Bounty” for John Doe will be $10,000 cash for the day! Bail Bonds these days can be as high as 7 figures or more. We do not accept checks in this industry. You are not on salary. You do not work by the hour and there are no taxes taken out of your BOUNTY. Some if not most people make in one day or one week what most people do not make in one year.
13. How dangerous in this Industry?
This industry is only as dangerous as the people who train you. This is THE most important question. You MUST pick the right mentor! This goes back to question #2. At the Bounty Hunter Training Academy we will teach you ZERO liability and the fastest turnaround time to give unlimited growth potential in this recession proof industry. We will demonstrate that you do NOT need a gun to work in the field. We will show you that your greatest weapons are your mind and your hands. Non-lethal weapons are proven effective tools and get the job done and keeps you, your team members and the public from harm and liability. Do not fall prey to quacks that do not offer elite training or mock those who do. They are damaged goods. Do your research and look for the evidence and facts that prove who is the best choice for your training. The facts and evidence will point you to BHTA. Your future depends upon it. Register today!
14. Do I qualify for your program?
If you are 18 or over and you do not have any violent felonies on your record, you qualify to take our program. You must of course, have the registration fee in advance.
15. Do you offer any payment plan?
Yes. We offer the most lenient payment plan on the internet. You can register with a low down payment of only $200.00. Once you do, your seat is guaranteed. We do not take more than 30 students per course and all our courses do sell out. You can then choose your own payment plan. This means you can call in a payment on any amount you desire at anytime towards your balance or you can simply save up your money and pay off your balance when you arrive at the course. We have not raised our registration fees in 7 years and try to make this elite course available to everyone. We accept all debit and credit cards.
16. Do you have an actual Academy?
Yes we do. We are the only one in the nation that does! Our location is a brand new 5 million dollar state of the art facility called “The Police Science Institute” located in Fresno, California. It hosts several NRA certified gun ranges with spinning electronic gun Targets, pop-up Targets and stationary Targets. We have a heavily padded mat room for martial art training, kill houses & CQB as well as a theater style instructional room with several flat screen TV’s. No one can match our staff of highly trained seasoned instuctors. See photos of the academy on this site.
17. Where do I get my credentials after I finish this course?
