ExpertBail Agent Making a Difference: James Peach
Everyone in Southern Ohio knows Jim and all consider him a friend. He is always available to help his community and people continuously look to him for advice. Because of Jim’s strong connection and influence in his community, he often plays a central role in local fundraising activities and efforts. For example, each year Jim hosts a large fundraiser to help someone who is in need in the local community. This year, a local friend was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Jim was able to help raise over $15,000 to go towards his treatment costs. The year before last, another local friend was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and her situation did not look good. Again, Jim helped raise over $15,000 to help contribute towards her very expensive medical expenses. Jim is happy to announce that both are continuing to heal and their outlook appears positive. On top of his annual fundraisers, Jim is a member of The Elks and raises money by selling tickets for the foundation Pot of Gold. They have currently raised over $100,000.
Jim doesn’t contribute to those in need for his own personal gain; he does it because he feels it’s the right thing to do and he genuinely enjoys helping others. Jim says, “You help people out without expecting anything in return and that’s what it’s all about.” Jim completely conveys what honesty and integrity stand for and we are proud to have him as a member of the ExpertBail Network.

* Shanti Support Program - Psychiatric Services: This program focuses on providing emotional support and companionship to inmates in the Infirmary who are affected with HIV/Aids and / or other life threatening illnesses. The sole focus of the Shanti Volunteer is to listen and talk with inmates by creating and developing a relationship of mutual respect and trust.

* WOC (Women Out Of Corrections Program) – YWCA: This is an informational and educational based program offering resources, services, and access to job training, transitional and temporary housing, mental health referrals and educational opportunities to incarcerated women. The facilitator herself has been where these women currently are and is therefore able to connect and relate to them in their current circumstances as well as inspire them that they can choose to change and live different lives upon release.
* Kundalini Yoga: Music and movement, peace and tranquility, dominate this ancient yoga practice. The men and women participate in these exercises to release and rejuvenate and allow themselves to be present within. Yoga Instructors are scheduled to teach this ancient art form.

Bail Bondsmen Do Good
Bail Bondsmen Do Good
By Sandra Ryder
http://technorati.com/business/article/bail-bondsmen-do-good/
My last article, “The Bail Bonds Industry Should Learn From the Banking Industry”, outlined a difficult future for the bail bonds industry if some serious issues are left unchecked. It evoked a strong response from bail bond insiders across the country and subsequently triggered a deluge of comments, emails and voice mails. While most agreed with the article's premise, that it is in everyone's best interest when the bail bonds industry is held to the highest standards, many were quick to point out that some are unilaterally making that commitment.
One of the key points in my previous article centered on the importance that public perception and sentiment plays in driving regulatory and statutory changes. If the public cries foul loud enough, their collective voice will motivate politicians and regulators to step in and respond with action.
Nothing does more to ingratiate a community to the any industry, on a local level, than grass roots charitable initiatives. Bail bond agencies frequently act as benefactors to numerous charitable causes, but often do so without recognition or fan fare. For example, Payless Bail Bond's Christmas on Wheels, gave fifty bikes to needy Las Vegas children over the holidays, but did so without press releases or an expectation of anything in return. All across the country, other stand out bail bond agencies performed similar good deeds in their own communities and with similar anonymity. Far too often, these types of activities go unrecognized by the public. At the same time, these charitable programs go a very long way in establishing bail bondsmen as integral parts of our communities and good stewards of the public's trust.
While community outreach is important, it will be a moot point, if the commitment to high ethical standards on a professional level is not achieved. Of course, regulators define what the minimum standards are in their respective states, but some bail bondsmen have taken the initiative to elevate their professionalism and committed to doing business in the highest ethical manner. Bail bondsmen demonstrate this commitment by the company they keep and the industry affiliations they maintain.
Expert Bail, which is backed by AIA, an established family of bail bond surety companies, strives to bring value to consumers by directing them to bail agents that have met a certain level of experience, professionalism and trustworthiness. They claim to be “comprised of the industry’s best and most experienced agents who are all committed to raising the standards in the bail industry.”
Beyond affiliations within the industry, bail agents can demonstrate their professionalism by expressly committing to a formal code of ethics. The Professional Bail Agents of the United States (“PBUS”), an industry trade association, has created a code of ethics that outlines best practices. Its code delineates how member bail agents should interact with clients, the general public, the government sector and fellow bail agents.
While none of the aforementioned things guarantee bail bonds will be immune from greater scrutiny or oversight. They do provide great examples of ways in which bail bondsmen can demonstrate their commitment to improving their respective communities, businesses and industry. At the end of the day, that is what the general public, regulators and law makers are looking for anyway.

Stephen Owens, ExpertBail Agent, Interviewed on Your Hour
ExpertBail Agent Stephen Owens of Owens Bonding in Wichita, Kansas, spoke with Sheryl Nutt on Channel 46’s Your Hour (a news magazine). Stephen provided an overview of the bail bond industry and described to the television audience the role that bail agents play as “a third party accountability system for the courts.”
Stephen also helped explain that being a bail agent isn’t about risking his life pursuing criminals that have skipped out on their bail. The reality, according to Owens, is that if you do what you are supposed to and properly assess those you bail out and then monitor them to ensure they show up for court, you eliminate the number of those who skip. Even when they do miss a court date, those individuals are usually easily apprehended without any physical confrontation. This fact alone challenges the stereotype and common misperception that bail agents run through the streets with bullet proof vests with guns ablazin’.
While this is a less dramatic reality, it is the reality of the bail bond industry. Ms. Nutt also asked Steve how one should go about finding a bail agent.

Stephen also helped explain that being a bail agent isn’t about risking his life pursuing criminals that have skipped out on their bail. The reality, according to Owens, is that if you do what you are supposed to and properly assess those you bail out and then monitor them to ensure they show up for court, you eliminate the number of those who skip. Even when they do miss a court date, those individuals are usually easily apprehended without any physical confrontation.
