Schools’ Interest Surges For Assailant, Active Shooter Policies

Active shooter insurance has found itself in the spotlight as schools become increasingly interested in the coverage. For instance, since the February 14 Florida high school shooting, seven South Florida school districts have purchased these insurance policies. The active shooter coverage is a relatively recent product for many agencies. The primary market for active shooter insurance has traditionally been event halls, office buildings and other places where large numbers of people come together. This type of policy provides coverage for expenses linked with shootings in specific pre-determined spaces.
