Bail Enforcement Looses Icon Lance Allen Wilkinson

Bail Enforcement has lost an icon. Lance Allen Wilkinson lost a battle for his life and passed peacefully of natural causes on July 6th 2007.

Well known in the industry as Recoveries by L.A.W. Lance was one of the best international trackers of the industry. Also well renowned as a published writer on bail enforcement training, Lance was the definition of the Bail Enforcement professional, a man of honor and integrity, and a true friend.

Lance was a frequent guest lecturer to college level criminal justice classes, as well as a speaker at civic organizations and to middle school children. He was the subject of television specials, in dozens of newspaper articles, featured on a Country Music Television special and credited with over to 1500 verifiable fugitive apprehensions throughout the United States (including Alaska). He also successfully captured bail fugitives in London England, Santiago Chile, Mexico, Haiti, St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, Bermuda and a few from Canada. His speciality was where so many others have tried and failed; the capture and return of fugitives from the Dominican Republic

A supporter of the Academy almost since it's inception, Lance was an Instructor for an Academy Session in Manchester NH in January 2003. And as all Academy Alumni are aware Lance's book Bail Enforcement and the Law is still the basis for homestudy preparation for all Academy Sessions.

Lance will forever be remembered by many; those whom he considered his friends count themselves fortunate and honored to have known him.
