Information needed when calling to get a bond approved:

• Who is the bondsman? Or is the client paying cash? Is it a PR (personal recognizance) bond? Or is it ORCD ($250 deposit)?
• We will need to verify the client’s address he/she wishes to reside while on the program.
• The client needs an active cell phone, and we need to be able to verify where the client is.
  • Phones cannot be borrowed until the client gets a new one.
  • Phones must be activated prior to approval for release from jail.
  • Phones must be fully operational with text and call capabilities.
  • Phones cannot be Wi-Fi only, text now or Google numbers.
• An emergency contact name and number, preferably someone living in the home with the client.
• The client will have to address any previous fees owed.
• Any outstanding monitoring equipment must be returned before approval will be granted.
• Pay attention to no contacts issued by the court; victims cannot be involved in the bonding process, and victims will be contacted to set up exclusion areas.
• Clients can be approved to live out of state, but it’s on a case-by-case basis, and interstate compact guidelines must be followed.
  • If a client is approved for an out-of-state address or an address outside the metro, proof of a travel plan must be provided.
