Skip tracing is
basically an industry term that is employed to describe the procedure of
finding a fugitive that can’t be located at their place of residence or general
hangouts. “Skip” means the person being analyses where as “tracing” refers to the
act of finding the skip.
The option of
skip tracing is most often opted by bail bondsmen, bounty hunters, repossession
agents, private investigators, debt collectors, and even journalists. Skip
tracing, however, may be done by a professional — called a skip tracer — who
claims to be an expert in this process.
There are many
skip tracing websites that could be quite useful in finding the fugitive.
Skip tracing is
one of its kind of process, however, and, though it is often a process of
bounty hunting, the two actions are definitely different. In short, bounty
hunters can act as skip tracers, but skip tracers cannot serve as bounty
hunters.
Both bail
bondsmen and bounty hunters resort to skip tracing website to find an
individual who has skipped bail. Because the defendant who skips bail does not
wish to be found for fear of being forwarded to prison (referred to as an
intentional skip, versus an unintentional skip, which includes an individual who
isn’t trying to avert detection), the task of skip tracing services in the bail bonds
field can be quite challenging.
A large number
of skip tracers get their training on the job, working for bail bond agencies,
private investigation firms, debt collection agencies, etc. A sound working
knowledge of computer systems and databases is needed to ensure success in this
profession, as is the capability to communicate well with different people.
