While many of us are stressing out about last minute gifts and what we’re making for the family dinner this holiday season, bail bonds agents are gearing up for their peak time of year.
Many bail bonds agents work the holidays because of how busy the days are, said Inessa Chavez, vice president of All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita.
Chavez compiled a list of busiest holidays for bail agents throughout the year:
- Christmas
- New Years
- 4th of July
- St. Patrick’s Day
- Halloween
- Thanksgiving
- Labor Day
- Cinco de Mayo
- Mardi Gras
- Superbowl Sunday
Chavez and her team of bail agents at All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita work through the holidays to be able to keep up with the amount of people needing to be bailed out, she said.
“We get dozens of calls during the holidays, especially before Christmas and after New Years,” Chavez said. “For Christmas, people want their loved ones out of jail so they can spend the holiday together with their whole family.”
Many times, jails are overflowing during the peak times, she said.
“Holidays are meant for spending time with your family and it’s sad if one person is stuck in jail,” Chavez said. “Families should get to spend time together.”
Many families wait till a couple days before Christmas to bail out their family member, after they have thought about how their holiday may be lonely without them, Chavez said.
“A majority of the people we bail out on these peak days are people who have been arrested on DUI charges, shoplifting or theft,” Chavez said. “We want you to be safe and to not be involved in a DUI crime.”
Here are some of Chavez’ tips on how to avoid being arrested for a DUI on these peak days:
- Pick a friend to be the designated a driver.
- Have someone on speed dial if designated driver plans don’t work out.
- Call a cab or have another transportation service phone number programmed into your cell phone.
- Be aware of your drinking limit.
- Always be responsible.
“Our agents at All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist in bailing out your loved ones,” Chavez said.
