Transport Agent

Redi Transports, formerly known as Redi Transports Prisoner Transports was founded by former law enforcement professionals who have a thorough understanding of prisoner transport and electronic monitoring needs. The company’s main interest is to provide financial relief to law enforcement agencies in order to enable them to keep officers in much needed community protection service positions. Redi Transports can save counties substantial resources and time related to the transportation of detainees and electronic monitoring. This savings enables departments to create new positions or better utilize valuable existing personnel within the constraints of their budgets.

A Transport Agent performs transportation services of detainees to and from state, federal, and county detention facilities, as well as behavioral health institutions. A transport agent may work in a team or on their own. Occasionally overnight and out of state work may be required. Work times vary, with the work day generally starting very early in the morning. Transport agents are expected to work a flexible schedule, with some long and short days. The current work schedule is Monday through Friday, however certain transports will require weekend travel whenever a mandatory release date is set by a court.
