Well, what tends to happen is that they're ignored. But, if the
bounty hunter convices the cops that he really does know where the guy
is, and that he's worth arresting, (They're not likley to care if it's
misdemeanor, or some felony that they don't care about (something not
involving violence, for instance).), and that the jurisdiction in
which he's wanted is going to pay to extradite him, and the cops
manage to actually arrest the guy, then the bounty hunter can hope the
police will say they got information from the bounty hunter.
That's work, and Illinois cops do not like people who think they're
cops who aren't. So the cops are very likely to not do anything
outside what their department regulations require. And if that
requires saying they had a source, it's probably not going to be the
bounty hunter who claims it was him, but someone, anyone, else. ("My
mother informed me she saw the notorious axe murderer Lizzie Bordon on
the Green line, and followed her to her hideout on Harlem. We acted
on this information and arrested her.") Who's anyone gonna believe, a
cop or a professional kidnapper? The people who posted the bond are
happy: they get their guy back, and possibly recover the bond, and
don't have to pay the bounty hunter.
