    Schools are buying "active shooter" insurance to avoid litigation and offset costs for counseling services, crisis management and added security after an attack.https://on.wsj.com/2KpM0ek

        More money from the budget that doesn’t go towards textbooks or supplies or teachers’ salaries.

        How many firearms and concealed holsters could they buy for their willing teachers for that money?

        This type of policy provides victim benefits not typically covered under general insurance, such as psychiatric care, medical / dental care funeral costs, death or disability benefits for those hurt - this is a good thing - answers the question who will help the victims?

        Many of our clients are implementing social media monitoring / facial recognitio / passive gun detection systems along w additional security. This is after we reviewed and discussed their overall risk management plans.

        I’m sure you know 40% of active shooters are over in less than 5 minutes from first shot & national police response time is 12 so what does the insurance do?

        This policy provides victim benefits not typically covered under general insurance, such as psychiatric care, medical care funeral costs, death or disability benefits for those hurt. The policy will pay for other extra expenses associated with these type of events.

        Of course. So you would rather schools spend money on that rather than hardening the target. it’s good business, I understand. It’s shameful and cowardly but it is good business! Mitigating financial loss rather than mitigating threats.

        joe - our company introduces & implements increased security - social media monitoring / facial recognition / behavior intelligence / threat/shot detection / weapons detectors systems - similar to hurricanes proper insurance to help the victims is a good thing. Thanks

        So if you actually do all the above. And since school budgets are tight everywhere. Is the best expenditure insurance or something facet to harden the target?(school) Do airports have this? Government buildings?

        Yeah, like public schools in poorer districts can afford that- safety/education for the wealthy only. The “donor class” better realize how outnumbered they are- their greed and corruption will be their undoing.
