You locate a Bailbond Agent at Colorado Bail, Inc.
He/She will ask you for specific information about your friend/relative who is detained, including the following:
· What is the person's full legal name?
· What is the person's date of birth?
· What is the arresting agency (Sheriff, etc)?
· What county, city and state is the person being held in?
· What is the booking number?
· What is the charge?
· How much is the bail amount?
(Your Agent may also require some basic information about the accused personal history, including where they work, previous arrests, and residency information)
You provide the Bailbond Agency with a percentage of the total bail amount. (typically 12-15% based upon the amount of the bail bond)
The Bailbond Agent will contact the jail facility and determine exact bail information and arrange to have your friend/relative released.
Your Bailbond Agent will contact you as soon as arrangements have been completed.
You must stay readily available. Your Bailbond Agent will probably need to contact you several times during the bail process, so you will need to provide them with a phone number where they can reach you. They may also need you to provide them with a fax number. (You can receive faxes at many grocery stores, office supply stores, and copy centers)
Many detention facilities (especially those in large metropolitan areas) are very slow in processing and often have their telephone lines overloaded with calls.
