Keep Bailing

With a busy Halloween weekend at hand, the bondsmen at Greg Rynerson Bail Bonds remind you of the the importance of safety. Halloween means family fun, but sometimes people go to excess too little precaution or with too much fun, too candy or too much alcohol.

They are also reminding parents to adhere to some rules of thumb while out and about this Oct. 31.

• Urge children to use common sense.
• Remind children they are not to enter the home of a stranger.
• Have kids stick to trick-or-treating in neighborhoods they know.
• Ensure that costumes are visible in the dark so that passenger vehicles can see them.  Reflective tape and/or using glow sticks can help drivers see children as they dart around the street.

If your adult fun included alcohol, be wise; do not drink and drive. Not only will police throughout California be out in force all weekend, but drunk driving can be deadly. So, be safe:

• If you’re going out drinking, plan ahead how you will get home
• Have a designated driver
• If someone your with has been drinking, contact friends or family, or call for a cab
• Never let an intoxicated person drive themselves home, even just around the corner.

If you or someone you know does get arrested for a DUI, you may not need bail. This Read more »

Technology isn’t the only thing that’s changed since my father, Cal Rynerson, opened his Orange County bail bonds company in 1971. The Internet, fax machines, and cell phones have all changed how customers find us and how we do business. Another big change has been in how bail bondsman are trained and licensed.

Unlike 30 years ago, it’s now possible to wake up one morning, say: “Hey! I think I’ll become a bail bondsman!” and about 6 months later open your own company. Sometimes, the old ways really were better.

When Dad became a bondsman, he was required to complete what was called an apprenticeship with another licensed California bail agent. After learning the business and basically getting the approval of the licensed agent, the apprentice could get licensed and go out on his own. The licensed agent would invite an apprentice into the business and sponsor him.
