The accuracy of the data in the registry cannot be guaranteed as accurate by the Sheriff’s Office because some offenders do not comply with the law.

Bail and Bondsman
Bail is the money pledged to the court by a defendant in order to be granted a “get-out-of-jail-free” card while the trial is still pending. This will be used by the court to help ensure the defendant’s return once the trial starts. If the defendant misses a scheduled court appearance, the court gets to keep the money.
If the defendant cannot afford the bail set by the court, he can choose to pay 10% of the bail amount to a bondsman. This is a non-refundable fee that will hire a bondsman who, in turn, will act as a surety and secure the defendant’s release.
