Everything an agency needs to recover bail jumpers
JumpTracer combines a cross-state fugitive registry with the day-to-day tools that keep a bond performing — so one platform does the work of several subscriptions.
National fugitive registry
Bail jumping is a cross-state problem, but most agencies track defendants in isolated, local systems. JumpTracer maintains a shared registry so a defendant who skips in one jurisdiction is visible to agencies everywhere.
- Cross-agency, cross-state defendant records
- Search by name, location, and case details
- Region and state filters for local focus
- Facial recognition deliberately searches nationwide
Facial-recognition identity matching
Names and dates of birth are easy to fake; a face is not. Match a photo against the registry to confirm a defendant's identity and catch people resurfacing under new names in other jurisdictions.
- Photo match against the global registry
- Verification-first posture (1:1 confirmation)
- State-by-state biometric compliance built in
- Written biometric-consent capture where required
Anti-double-bonding alerts
When a defendant is bonded in more than one place, agencies are exposed without knowing it. JumpTracer checks for active bonds elsewhere at the moment a bond is posted and alerts the agencies involved.
- Automatic conflict detection on bond posting
- Instant alert to the originating agency
- In-app and email notifications
- Cross-state bond visibility
Defendant check-ins & court-date reminders
Failure to appear is an agency's biggest financial risk. Schedule court dates, send automated reminders, and require defendant check-ins — with an optional selfie verified against the enrolled photo.
- Court-date scheduling and reminders
- Recurring or one-off check-in requests
- Tokenized public check-in link (no login for the defendant)
- Selfie identity verification + optional GPS
Re-arrest monitoring
If a defendant is booked into custody again, the original agency should be the first to know. JumpTracer matches incoming jail bookings against the registry and raises a re-arrest alert.
- Match incoming bookings by name and date of birth
- Re-arrest alert to the originating agency
- Manual entry plus a secure ingestion webhook
- Per-case re-arrest history
Built-in e-signatures
Send bond contracts, indemnitor agreements, and promissory notes for signature without a separate e-sign vendor. The signed document is rendered to a PDF and stored on the case with an audit trail.
- Starter templates for common agreements
- Drawn + typed signature on any device
- Signed PDF stored as a case document
- Signer, IP, and timestamp recorded
Security & compliance
JumpTracer handles sensitive personal and biometric data, and is built to treat it that way — encryption at rest, least-exposure matching, and an append-only audit trail.
- AES-256-GCM encryption for SSN and date of birth
- Keyed blind-index SSN matching (never stored in clear)
- Append-only audit log of sensitive actions
- Policy-driven biometric data retention
