- 48 percent of programs have never verified their risk assessment instrument
- Only 68 percent of programs calculate the failure to appear rate
- Only 37 percent of programs calculate the re-arrest rate
Why? Because the taxpayers are paying for such programs, which are run by county governments, many with huge bureaucratic programs. The economic costs to the taxpayers for failure to appear and re-arrests of defendants are absorbanant.
Let the private surety industry do its job for you using their own financial resources. We will make sure defendants appear at all court proceedings and adhere to conditions of the bond. If they skip, the bail agent is financially responsible and not YOU!
