That money isn't paid out of the budget, they have insurance for it.

That money isn't paid out of the budget, they have insurance for it.
- DanielDent 9y agoInsurers are not charities. They price based on a risk model. A police department with frequent liability payouts can expect their premiums to be priced according to the risk they represent (assuming they are even able to find an insurer still willing to underwrite them).
- rhizome 9y agoDo those risk adjustments actually occur in real life? Is it even specifically "police insurance," or is it under the umbrella of the insurance for the jurisdiction (city, county, etc.) where those risk adjustments can get buried within larger coverage patterns?
