What does it take to Be
a Bounty Hunter?
In this video, we are taken to a variety of places such as the lair of a wanted felony fugitive, numerous training environments, and short glimpses meant to provide one with an idea of what it takes to be a bounty hunter in general and in California.
The answer to what may at first seem like a simple and direct question is multifaceted inasmuch as being cryptically elusive and consistent with asking someone, “What’s on the Internet;” indeed, the question is, in point of fact, overly broad and deserves a protracted discussion that is replete with ongoing questions and answers and scenario based for instances that create points of reference and all of which should be designed to create specificity in an incalculable set of areas common to bounty hunting.
I think the first question should be how does a new bounty hunter hunt wanted felony fugitives while, at the same time, staying out of civil court, criminal court and the morgue.

Qualifications to Legally Bounty Hunt in the State of California
BOUNTY HUNTER LICENSE INFORMATION?
No Bounty Hunting License is Required or Exists in California!
The qualifications to bounty hunt in California has been the focus of some very curious Internet website implications or otherwise material false statements, arguably, born of naivety, slothful research, purposeful misdirection, and wholly disturbing to experts and professionals currently operating in the California Bail Education Community.

What are the qualifications and requirements to bounty hunt in California?

A person will have to be what California Bounty Hunters call "PC 1299 Compliant," or "1299 Compliant."

There is not and has never been a licensing requirement to lawfully bounty hunt in California, but there is an exception for California licensed private investigators or out of state bail agents and licensed private investigators to comply with California Penal Code Section 847.5 , lest any arrest of an out of state bail jumper is not lawful.

A Bounty Hunter License or Criminal Justice Degree is NOT a Requirement to Bounty Hunt in California!

I have, as a 21 year bounty hunting veteran and 17 year bail bondsman, encountered various online colleges and universities marketing or otherwise implying the need for a so-called degree or degrees in direct relation to bounty hunting or fugitive recovery or what is also called bail enforcement.
In point of fact, also as a bail education provider who has personally certified over 1,000 people now working in the bail bond industry as bounty hunters, bounty hunting team leaders, posting bail agents, bail bond company owners, and bail agency clerical staff, I find it very curious that any person, legitimate educational organization or anyone having to do with academia in general would go so far as to even imply that a person would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars and months and years either attending a campus in-person or completing un-accredited online course in order to enter into the California bail bonds industry when it is simply and purely not true.
For example, the Bailspeak California Department of Insurance Approved Bail Agent Pre-Licensing Certification class is 22 Hours, held on a Friday through Monday, and costs less than many monthly car payments!

A: No. California is a Certification State with an exception for California licensed private investigators and out-of-state bail agents or private investigators who must then comply with the requirements of California Penal Code §847.5 covered in detail in another video and in Bailspeak Bail Agent Pre-Licensing Certification Classes.
