Do Citizens Arrest Fugitives for Rewards?

Are private individuals hired to locate and arrest fugitives?

Yes, they are called fugitive recovery agents. Much more information can be found out about them if you Google "Fugitive Recovery" or "Bail Enforcement Agent" or "Bounty Hunter."

Typically they work for bail bond companies picking up their "skips" for bounties or rewards. Obviously the recovery of fugitives should only be undertaken by trained individuals who are professional skip tracers and are prepared to confront and defeat violent fugitives in a safe and legal manner.

It can be both dangerous and rewarding for the skilled investigator.
