Definition

A Recovery Agent, commonly known as a Bounty Hunter, is an individual who locates and apprehends fugitives or individuals who have failed to meet the conditions of their bail, often on behalf of a bail bondsman or surety company. This role is critical in the bail system to ensure that defendants appear in court and that the financial risk to the bail bondsman is mitigated.
