OUR MISSION

MCOBS is dedicated to limited surety bail.  We pledge to fight for the growth and continuation of surety bail in Mississippi.  We promise to provide professional bail agents with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the responsibilities and challenges of bail industry careers with P.R.I.D.E. (Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Dignity, & Excellence).  Additionally, we strive to provide quality educational opportunities so that bail agents can meet state licensing requirements.  We also track legislative trends affecting the bail industry in Mississippi and serve as an advocate for our member agents.

a message from our president

George Sandifer
MCOBS PRESIDENT
​GEORGE SANDIFER
I take my position as President of MCOBS very seriously. My primary mission in assuming this position is to strive towards making MCOBS a premier representative within the bail industry.

MCOBS goals include:
  • Forging a strong partnership with our regulating agency — the Mississippi Insurance Department
  • Representing all bail agents in Mississippi with the purpose of ensuring that the bail bond industry thrives in the future
  • Providing the foremost pre-licensing and continuing education courses in the state of Mississippi

MCOBS is growing every day.  I encourage all sureties (along with their solicitors) and bail recovery agents to join us and participate in MCOBS.  I ask you to stand by our side and help make the Mississippi bail industry the best in the nation.
