What is Fugitive Recovery? Debunking the Myths

When most people hear “bounty hunter,” they think of Wild West shootouts or TV dramatizations. In reality, fugitive recovery agents (FRAs) play a critical role in the modern justice system—especially in states like Connecticut.

Fugitive recovery involves locating and apprehending individuals who have skipped bail or failed to appear in court. Licensed agents work alongside bail bondsmen, law enforcement, and courts to ensure accountability and public safety.

Common myths:

• ❌ “Bounty hunters can break any law.”

✅ We operate within strict legal limits.

• ❌ “It’s all action and violence.”

✅ Intelligence, patience, and communication are our primary tools.

At Connecticut Fugitive Recovery, we believe in professionalism, accountability, and results—not theatrics.
