In California, Bail Agents are regulated by the California Department of Insurance. Information about how to obtain a bail license can be found on the Department of Insurance's website. For additional and probably more helpful information, go to either the California Bail Agent's Association or Bail Resource Center. The primary focus of this blog is people who already have a bail license.
I have been a licensed California Bail Agent since 1985 (License number 1674109). I am frustrated at the lack of guidance and conflicting information the Department of Insurance provides. This lack of guidance and conflicting information has caused a divisiveness in our industry. Bail agents who are equally trying to do "the right thing" have been pitted against each other because each has been told something completely different in regards to an issue.
Frustrated by the lack of guidance, I sought to find answers on my own. The information I have found has the potential for doing good when shared with other like-minded individuals. My intent is to share this information for the greater good. Please feel free to comment and discuss things in a positive way. This does not mean you have to agree with what anyone says, it just means please be respectful.
This blog will not be about debating the issues such as sidewalk solicitation, rebating or anything else the regulations cover. It has been and will continue to be a waste of time to do so. I will discuss why in a later post.
