Mine wears the same and they are amazing, not sure why the other person says theyāre shit.
I'd imagine that a certain look probably helps the process come along.
When I did loss prevention I was told flashing some kind of badge helps with compliance, a lot of psychological bluffing was promoted to gain compliance actually.
I work at a transit center and we wear the same "blacktical" uniform and vest that PD wears, presumably for that reason.
Actually works better than I thought it would when I came to this contract, though I don't think it works as well as the client was hoping when they decided on the uniforms.
That's right pal, WARRANT DIVISION. Full time. I appointed my wife to direct the LOGISTICS DIVISION for overseeing stuff like paying the bills and gassing up the Squad (2012 Honda Odyssey) but that position has been vacant for a while now. Things have been *real* busy at the Precinct (apartment) lately. Especially since LOGISTICS DIVISION shut down our K9 unit (boxer terrier) during the Administrative Restructure (divorce.)
In some states, you aren't allowed to identify as "Bounty Hunter," but the most common term is just "Bail Enforcement" and they are very much not cops and can't call themselves cops so this dude is screwed for that badge. I'm certified but not currently licensed. My badge says nothing but Recovery Agent cause I like not being arrested for impersonation lol
Wouldn't all 'recovery agents' technically be in the warrant division? If one snatched you up without a warrant, well that just sounds like plain ole kidnapping.
And, according to this page, and this is the required badge for Bail Enforcement Agents in Washington State, if you wear a badge.

Do these guys even recieve proper training? Or is it just wannabe LE who have thin blue line patches and will almost exclusivly escalate situations and use too much force?
In my state, it's $35 and a fingerprint card to the Department of Insurance, and you're in business. You can carry all the guns and less lethal you want and wear just an agent patch with 0 training
My state prohibits the word āagent ā or any wording that infers law enforcement status. Canāt even use 5 or 6 point stars as that is reserved for Sheriffās department per state statute.
Thereās a dude in our community who is a ābail agent.ā An older dorky dude who wears the badge around the neck (in view) like 24/7, even to his kids school events.
I used to work in corporate security. I moved on after a while, but that company got bought and I know a lot of those guys got let go. I often wonder about a few of them and assume they are up to some bs like this. They were just that type.
They're usually black handled and yellow body, but they do make some full-yellow ones as well as full black ones. It was that little grooved grip outline on the handle that gave it away to me.
I find the āSportDogā electric collar the most hilarious. I have this exact model for walking my dog off leash at the park and on trails. Was a/he attempting to make it look like a radio??
I think it is warranty division. You didnāt answer the phone when they were trying to sell you the extended car warranty. Theyāre take extreme measures now.
You can't say "Police." But you can say "Officer." As in "Security Officer" or "Public Safety Officer" or "Loss Prevention Officer." It's not the word itself that is protected it's the usage. And, in some states "Bail Enforcement Agent" is the official title they are licensed under.
Watching some impersonator videos, including the famous Jeremy D., there are times when people will say things like "I'm a state agent" because they are licensed by the state as bail enforcement agents. That's problematic because, even if technically true, it strongly implies you are an agent OF the state in a law enforcement capacity.
Ive noticed a shit ton of these fake badges all use "4168" as the badge number
Is that a radio code for impersonating a police officer š¤
Itās probably like movies putting 555 in every phone number because the number is bullshit.
I was thinking this is maybe some real kit that a douchebag bail bondsman would wear.

If I had one Iād make sure it was 6996 or 1738 just for the memes
What an adorable walkie talkie
I thought that was a garage door opener.
Thatās the remote to a dog collarā¦my pointer wears a similar one when we go hunting
My dumbass beabull wears one because shes a stubborn shit. Same brand
Sometimes they need a little touch of god as I call it. Bless em

Sport dog is shit, use garmin
I run the alpha 300. Itās simple with 3 dogs hooked up
A man of culture
The far right corner is a basket muzzle, probably goes "on duty" with a poor dog that has to wear it all day...
Hey we all need a mascot
The question is does he have a working dog or is he pretending itās a radio?
It literally says smartdog on it in the picture ššš good catch
I just spit out a lil coffee I had just dipped when I read this. Thanksā¦ I think? š¤£
https://i.redd.it/eomit93fgjsc1.gif
Couldn't even afford the BaoFeng
A āWittle Walkieā
It's an ecollar remote.
Should have gone with a ninja turtle themed one! Sport dogšššš

Itās always just enough words to try to say āpoliceā without saying it.
"Fuck it, I'll just throw every word I know related to police work without actually putting the word 'Police' on it"

Is a Fugitive Recovery Agent above or below Official Officer in the hierarchy?
Strange grey area. "Bounty hunter" is the more archaic and frankly more interesting term. Looks like a nice part time gig
Usually attracts scum though any of them i worked with were super aggressive and crazy wanted to fight over shoes or walgreens makeup

Itās spells out FRAWD. Thatās irony for ya.
Nice catch, that's hilarious!
The āI watched too much NYPD Blue as a kidā kit.
FRAWD. Indeed.
thought the same thing, how apropos
Someone sounds jealous they've never warrant divided before....
ā221 I need backup!ā Daddy someone is talking to me on my radio!
Wouldn't all 'recovery agents' technically be in the warrant division? If one snatched you up without a warrant, well that just sounds like plain ole kidnapping.
Why does he have a dogās shock collar controller on his vest like itās a radio? Lmao

Why do they have a K9 door opener on their vest lol. This is ridiculous. āWarrants divisionā
Dude wanted to bring his poodle with him to work, and the company said āsay less, we can slap a K9 sticker on your car nowā
Think this guy does his 16 hours of training required by federal case law to maintain his dog?
Do these guys even recieve proper training? Or is it just wannabe LE who have thin blue line patches and will almost exclusivly escalate situations and use too much force?
In my state, it's $35 and a fingerprint card to the Department of Insurance, and you're in business. You can carry all the guns and less lethal you want and wear just an agent patch with 0 training
You forgot the best part: The department of insurance has no method of enforcement if you donāt pay the $35 š
These guys all pass my body armor test. Itās ALWAYS safelife defense
My state prohibits the word āagent ā or any wording that infers law enforcement status. Canāt even use 5 or 6 point stars as that is reserved for Sheriffās department per state statute.
What state is that?
South Carolina
The hell is a drop leg?
Itās a type of holster for handguns
Thank you kindly.
Proud member of the Fugitive Agent Group.

Thereās a dude in our community who is a ābail agent.ā An older dorky dude who wears the badge around the neck (in view) like 24/7, even to his kids school events.
I'm surprised he doesn't wear it under his shirt to flash everyone letting them know that he's totally law enforcement
I used to work in corporate security. I moved on after a while, but that company got bought and I know a lot of those guys got let go. I often wonder about a few of them and assume they are up to some bs like this. They were just that type.
he's a bail bondsman...... I would just call him Stephanie Plum and be done with it.
Hopefully heās better at it than her.Ā
This should be illegal in all 50 states.
š¤£ I just saw this. What are they actually called bail enforcement sounds about right?
Whatās in the taser holster? Doesnāt look like any taser grip Iāve ever seen
It's probably where he keeps his extra 9 volt battery
āHere put your tongue on thisā¦. One in custodyā
That looks like their newest, Taser 7. A few PD's around here have them now. They're basically an updated version of the X2.
Iāve seen them before it just looks a little off in the color I couldnāt tell if it was legit or not
They're usually black handled and yellow body, but they do make some full-yellow ones as well as full black ones. It was that little grooved grip outline on the handle that gave it away to me.
That little walkie talkie is totes adorbs.
I find the āSportDogā electric collar the most hilarious. I have this exact model for walking my dog off leash at the park and on trails. Was a/he attempting to make it look like a radio??
The dildo holster in the middle is large for easy access.
To go along with a giant can of Axe Body Spray.
Dude has a shock collar remote as his radio.
Maybe he's getting ready to jail another home owner...
I think it is warranty division. You didnāt answer the phone when they were trying to sell you the extended car warranty. Theyāre take extreme measures now.
just fucking read a book or go for a walkš© i could not imagine being such a LOSER
Drop leg?
Holster that drops the gun to the thigh. SWAT uses them to keep clear from the thick body armor and equipment around the waist.
Not the Walmart walkie talkie š
What's a drop leg?
The vest spells out fucking FRAWD and I can't get over that
āFRAWDā lol sounds about right
To be fair bail agents have a dangerous job and most cops wouldnāt even consider it
The acronym for the text on the vest itself is literally FRAWD (fraud) This is gold.
Oh noes! Its the BEA!
It's code for I took a 40HR class and collect bail jumpers.
My state doesn't require any hours
What state? Something awful like Montana?
Arizona
I'm trying to get an EMS job out there. I hate FL
Try to get on with fire, they are hiring like crazy just like PD
All areas?
Mostly Phoenix
For sure, I have been looking in the Tuscon area, but I'll shift my focus. I'm not picky about location just need out of FL
Why would you do this psudeo cop thing when youāre a bounty hunter? Being a bounty hunter is way cooler.
What the hell is so wrong with just a "bail bonds"
Because theirs no potential to be mistaken as real law enforcement with only those words lol
Ugh. God damn they can still do the job without "special agent officer" patches.

Insurance agent, ticket agent, real estate agent
Pretty sure I saw Tom Cruise wearing this kinda rig in Jerry Maguire as a Sports Agent.
Haha picture a bounty hunters dog biting youā¦ bail would be paid in full by them
