Overview of the Program
This Public Entity Insurance program is designed for agents and brokers who need a market for municipal, county, district and educational accounts. The program offers multiple lines—property, liability, specialty management and law enforcement coverages—placed with admitted and non-admitted solutions depending on state and risk characteristics.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
- Municipal governments: boroughs, cities, towns, townships and villages
- Counties and parishes
- Government districts and special districts
- Governmental insurance pools
- Educational institutions and school boards
Typical fits include municipal property programs, public officials management liability, law enforcement professional liability, and fleet/autonomous vehicle exposures for public works. We generally prefer accounts with documented risk management practices, reasonable claim histories, and appropriate security and deductible structures. Accounts with unusual or high-hazard operations may require additional underwriting review.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
- Property, Inland Marine & Crime
- Boiler & Equipment Breakdown
- General Liability and Automobile Liability
- Police Professional Liability and Public Officials Management Liability
- Educators Legal Liability
- Umbrella or Excess Insurance
Carriers in our placement panel provide flexibility on deductible options, form enhancements, and risk control resources. We help you evaluate trade-offs like a lower premium with a higher deductible versus higher upfront cost and lower retained risk—important when multiple small claims can quickly aggregate.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Underwriting focuses on exposures, loss history, preventive controls, and the clarity of limits and deductibles. Deductible differences—particularly on property, public officials management liability, and law enforcement policies—can materially affect placement and client retention. Minimum premiums vary by line and state; please reference the individual submission requirements for specific minimums.
