No one wants to plan for it. Every responsible organization should.
Support and protection after a violent incident
Active Shooter & Workplace Violence insurance responds to the human, financial, and legal aftermath of a violent event at your business — an exposure that standard General Liability policies increasingly limit or exclude.
Beyond indemnity, these programs are built around rapid crisis response: the specialists, counseling, and communications support an organization needs in the hours and weeks after an incident.
What Active Shooter & Workplace Violence Covers
These programs commonly provide:
Victim & Medical Support — medical costs, counseling, and support for those affected.
Liability Protection — defense and damages for claims alleging inadequate security or negligence.
Business Interruption — lost income and extra expense during closure and recovery.
Crisis Management — expert security, public-relations, and legal response, funeral costs, and rebuilding or relocation expense.
Who Needs Active Shooter & Workplace Violence
This coverage is relevant for organizations with public or employee exposure, including:
Schools, universities, and childcare facilities
Retailers, restaurants, and hospitality venues
Healthcare and social-service organizations
Houses of worship, offices, and event venues
More Than a Policy
The most valuable part of many of these programs is the pre-incident planning and post-incident crisis team. We help you weigh those services alongside the coverage limits so the protection is practical, not just financial.

What does active shooter & workplace violence insurance cost?
Premiums vary from business to business. The main drivers of active shooter & workplace violence insurance pricing are the nature of your operations, your revenue and payroll, your loss history, and the limits you carry. Rather than quote a flat figure, we negotiate across several markets and walk you through the options, so you only pay for the protection you actually need.
Is active shooter & workplace violence insurance required?
It depends on your situation. Some coverage is required by law; more often, active shooter & workplace violence insurance is required by a contract, lease, lender, or client before they will do business with you — and even when it is not mandated, it guards against exposures that can be severe. We review your operations and obligations and tell you plainly what you need and why.
What if another agency has already declined or non-renewed my coverage?
Difficult, specialty, and previously-declined placements are a core part of our work. We access excess & surplus (E&S) and specialty markets that many generalist agencies cannot, and we explain the trade-offs clearly so you can decide with confidence.
