Louisiana Fugitive Task Force

Fugitive Recovery Auxiliary Response Team

The Fugitive Recovery Auxiliary Response Team is a unit that was revised after numerous request. This program has been designed for men and women whom have an interest in the field of Bail Enforcement but are dedicated to there full time employment. The program welcomes experience as well as unexperience individuals to join. So if the passion is there but you just can't pull yourself away from that pay check that puts food on the table then this program may be for you. The Louisiana Fugitive Task Force is an affiliate of Ducote Bail Bonds located in St. Bernard parish covering all surrounding areas. The L.F.T.F. handles cases and recovery for Bail Bond agencies both in and out of state. Along with all recovery cases for Ducote Bail Bonds. We occasionally recieve missing person cases, private investigations cases (For intel gathering only), and back up Ducote Bail Bonds with defendant transportation when needed. As both the Bail Bond office and the Task Force office grows there will be a need for the hiring of full and part time positions. Of course for those who are already a member of our team those agents would be given the first option to be hired. However, until that time presents itself our Auxiliary Agents will be working in the field along with our full time Agents learning and recieving the expirience that will lead them to working files on there own. The Auxiliary Team will have the option to come out on ride-a-longs, participate, interact with investigations and recovery. From the moment the file becomes active to the moment the fugitive is brought to jail. Learning procedure in the field as well as in the office. This program will catter to those of you who just has an interest but already haves a career. The police departments, military, and fire departments, all have volunteer programs that provide two functions for both them and the people that apply. Those departments give extra man power for the work load thats not in there budget to hire people for. The people that apply get to be involved and participate in a field they have a passion for but would never leave there jobs to do or wouldn't want that type of work on a daily basis. So both the department and the applicant wins.
