Bail Enforcement Agents (Utah Insurance Department)

Hi Curtis,

Please submit this request via the Utah Open Records Portal (
https://openrecords.utah.gov/). This will allow us to keep track of it in
the event that we need to assign different parts to various divisions. It
will also keep you apprised of any changes or updates to the file. It will
make the process smoother for getting you what you need in those 10 days.

I will forward your email to the GRAMA team as well so they can get started
on it. Thanks very much.

Mr. Waltman,

In Utah we license Bail Bond Producers in the Utah Insurance Department
(UID). We do not license Bail Enforcement Agents. They are
licensed/registered? with Public Safety. The UID does not have any records
relative to bail enforcement. We do not collect any of the information
requested. Our Bail Bond Agents do not notify us if they are also
enforcement agents. What I know is there are three levels of enforcement
licensing each with certain criteria.

https://bci.utah.gov/bail-enforcement/bail-enforcement-licensees-in-utah/
is the address to get to licensees licensed in Utah.

I hope this helps.
