I’ve never thought of this possibility before. While it might be a financial hardship for a twenty something to get liability insurance when he/she gets out of cop school...maybe it would make more sense if cities and counties to carry the insurance. That way, the insurance companies would require vetting for officers to enter the police force and then keep vetting them to be able to keep them on the force. That said...I hate insurance companies with the heat of 1000 suns. However, your idea is intriguing. I look forward to seeing What the comments are here.
