Limits on Law Enforcement Liability
|
|
12. Limits on Law Enforcement Liability
Description:
APRA has discussed limiting the options it provides to members for law enforcement liability limits. Currently, members get $1 million by default, and the contribution for that is included in their GL contributions. If a member wants a higher limit, they have a choice of $6 Mil or $15.5 Mil (numbers based on our reinsurance layering), and will have a higher contribution for the increased limits. Members don’t have the option of declining law enforcement liability coverage altogether (except for the two that don’t take any GL from APRA).
We have provided higher limits on law enforcement to our members who request it and fill out our law enforcement application. There has been discussion who is permitted to purchase the higher limits for law enforcement coverage — most specifically, limiting one or both of the higher limits to members who are accredited and/or pursuing accreditation. |
