When do bounty hunters get involved in catching criminals?

Bounty hunters are enlisted by bail bondmen when their clients fail to report as ordered for a court appearance or otherwise give the indication that they have "jumped" bail or absconded. In this event, either court issues an order revoking bail/bond and a bench warrant is sworn out. When this occurs, it is a race between the bounty hunter and regular law enforcment to apprehend the absconder/fugitive. It is, however, unlikely that LE will expend much effort unless the fugitive is considered dangerous, and in that event the courts would not issue a bench warrant, but would likely issue a criminal or arrest warrant. Bounty hunters are not law enforcement officers, and may not opperate within the same boundaries as LE. In some states, charges can even be brought against BH's for assault or wrongful detention.

Are bounty hunters part of the law?

It depends if you are somewhere where bounties are offered for criminals. If so, yes, they are part of the greater scheme of law enforcement. In addition, bounty hunters are also part of the bail bondsman community and local law enforcement. Any person who is arrested for a crime and by the judge is granted bail, more often than not, borrows a good portion of the bail money needed to be released from jail & is required to return at a particular date for trial. At some point in the legal procedures that follow, the bail bondsman company, rightfully expects to be repaid. All that is written above of course are general situations. If the person who is granted bail fails to show up for their appointed court date is now a fugitive of the legal system. Aside from the steps the court system and local law enforcement must take to find the alleged criminal, the bail-bondsman company often has on staff a bounty hunter unit or will contract with a bounty hunter to find the "missing person" and return them to the court and hopefully be able to repay his bail. The bail bond company and the bounty hunter are licensed by the State in which they operate.
