TOLEDO, Ohio<\/strong> \u2014 The profession of a bail bondsman has evolved over the last 20 years, but it’s still a fairly small one. Franklin Frazier has been a bondsman for the last 14 years and has seen his industry change.<\/p>\n

“To keep a long story short, I went to school for nursing and was playing football and realized football wasn’t going to work out,” Frazier said. “So, I looked into being a state marshal, there was a hiring freeze at the time. I did more research and ended up stumbling upon bounty hunting.”<\/p>\n

“It’s become part of me, it’s the adrenaline,” Frazier said. “I love being out and dealing with people, I’m always constantly dealing with people. I’m a people person and you work on your own time. I’m always on the go and I like being busy. When I’m sitting still, I feel like I’m going crazy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite the slang term ‘bounty hunting’ being popularized, the industry was only professionalized in 2001.<\/p>\n

Mary Smith, the managing general agent for Smith Bonds & Surety in Rossford said now, the job requires specific training and licenses.<\/p>\n

In fact, in Ohio, it’s technically against the law to use the term ‘bounty hunter’.<\/p>\n

“It’s to not confuse people who come in and try to pretend like they are bounty hunters to go and knock on doors and it’s trying to professionalize the industry and bring it to a more respectful industry,” Smith said.<\/p>\n
