Educational opportunities are among some of the most valuable benefits related to association membership. Scott Hall, president of the Georgia Association of Professional Bondsmen, has been a bail bond agent for the past 15 years, and says he originally joined the GAPB to gain knowledge.

"I am a big believer that the best members of any industry are actively involved in their associations," said Hall. "I wanted to meet and learn from the best in the industry."

As President of the GAPB, Hall helps to coordinate and approve the continuing education. In Georgia, the GAPB approves the providers of continuing education and the content. Las Vegas bail bonds agents and recovery agents have a required eight hours of education a year, which generally includes education on law and changes to the law.

"The reason we require it every year is because we felt that if the individuals here were exposed to the law, and the changes to the law, they were much less likely to make mistakes that would affect the industry or affect their ability to be in the industry," said Hall. "In our industry you have the right to lay your hands on people. That can be dangerous not only for our members, but dangerous to the accused. What we are trying to do is make sure they understand the law so if they make the mistake it's a true mistake and not a mistake of ignorance."

The GAPB has been fighting battles against bad legislation that was created because bondsmen have made mistakes that could have been prevented if they had known the law. The association is trying to combat new Las Vegas bail bonds legislation efforts proactively through education.

"Across the nation we are getting inconsistent rulings in a number of the courtrooms on bail-related issues because neither the bondsman nor the judge know what to base their decision on. By arming our members they are better prepared to argue their points," said Hall. "From a judicial perspective it is better to educate the members on current practices rather than everyone having to throw a dart at the dart board."

Hall reports that since the law for continuing education was passed there have been far fewer legal incidents. "No one feels like they feel like they should be required to do anything," said Hall. "The problem comes from the people who are uninformed and their singular mistake has a rippling effect. It's not surprising that some individuals oppose education because they tend to be informed. However, it (their resistance) is short-sided because the regulation affects them. It will come from one of their competitors who don't know they should be doing something."
