One year ago, Public Entity Partners began a partnership with Virtual Academy to provide a subscription supplement for law enforcement-specific online training. Virtual Academy provides high-quality, engaging training with nationally recognized experts, and the platform allows law enforcement agencies to easily manage, track and create training records and department files. PE Partners’ subscription supplement programs will cover 66% of the cost for law enforcement agencies with 1 - 15 officers, 50% of the cost for agencies with 16 - 30 officers, and 25% of the cost for agencies with 31 or more officers. Over the past year, PE Partners’ members with law enforcement agencies saved almost $76,000 as a result of this subscription supplement program.

In September, Public Entity Partners began using a new claims management system, Origami Risk. The online claims forms that are used to submit claims also changed as part of this claims administration system. Anyone within your organization who has access to our online portal can file claims for your entity online. The online claims forms include the ability to save an incident in draft status. Some members are leaving incidents in draft status without submitting the claim. When an incident is left in draft status our adjusters do not receive the claim for processing.

Message From the President - December 2020
Now that we’ve entered the final month of 2020, I would be remiss if I did not recognize the growing number of active COVID-19 cases throughout our state, and acknowledge the strain this places on our members as you work to provide essential services to your community. Public Entity Partners has labored with you throughout this year, and we’re still hard at work, responding to your loss control and underwriting questions, while continuing to handle the liability, property and workers’ compensation claims that are submitted each day. During this pandemic, we encourage you to always make the health and safety of your employees and team members your highest priority, and take the necessary steps to ensure they are protected as much as reasonably possible.
