Washington D.C., USA – A groundbreaking active assailant insurance product has been unveiled, combining the expertise of technology company Gabriel, (re)insurance group Chaucer, and crisis management specialist Merrill Herzog. This innovative insurance solution aims to prevent and minimize the impact of mass shooting incidents by utilizing AI (artificial intelligence) technology to swiftly alert policyholders – including schools, hospitals, and religious establishments – during an attack. Additionally, the product ensures the immediate notification of emergency services and neighboring properties while establishing a command center equipped with a video link for real-time crisis management.

The insurance coverage provided by this product, featuring an incident security dashboard developed and implemented by Gabriel, offers comprehensive protection against property damage, business interruption, and liability following an active assailant event at or near the policyholder’s premises. It also extends to cover business disruptions due to active assailant threats and the subsequent decline in business activity post-incident.

Chaucer’s class underwriter Liz Heslip highlighted the strategic partnerships with Gabriel and Merrill Herzog, emphasizing the advanced technology and unique nature of the active assailant insurance product. This collaboration is seen as a crucial step towards establishing a new industry standard for active assailant, deadly weapons, and workplace violence coverage, focusing not only on mitigating the aftermath but also on proactively preventing threats before they materialize.

CEO Paul Hatcher of Merrill Herzog expressed enthusiasm for the blend of cutting-edge technology and practical solutions in preparing for and preventing mass shooting incidents. The collaboration with Chaucer to introduce this impactful solution to their insurance clients is viewed as a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to enhance safety and security measures in various settings.

Overall, the launch of this preventative mass shooting insurance product signifies a proactive approach to addressing the growing concerns surrounding such tragic events. By leveraging technology, expertise, and strategic partnerships, the aim is to not only respond effectively to incidents but also to implement measures that can potentially avert future threats, ushering in a new era of comprehensive security solutions within the insurance industry.
