What questions should a bail bond intake script include?

Short answer

A complete bail intake script covers: (1) caller name, relationship to defendant, and callback number; (2) defendant full name and date of birth; (3) jail name, county, and city; (4) bail amount if set; (5) cosigner availability; (6) whether the caller can pay the premium today. These six fields determine whether the call is a hot lead, a scheduled callback, or a referral.

What this means for your agency

Routine calls (payment, paperwork, court date) should become tasks, not interruptions — so your team's attention stays on the bonds that need a human.
