In the wake of the recent devastating flooding in Northeast Tennessee caused by Hurricane Helene, all of us at Public Entity Partners stand with our families, friends and communities in Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins, Johnson, Unicoi and Washington counties. As we witness the damage and destruction left behind, we know that this is more than just a storm — it is a life-altering event for so many of you.

Dividend declaration

Message From the President - Rate Changes

By Michael Fann | 4/19/2023 10:30 am

At the end of February, our Board of Directors met to consider rates, coverages and dividends for the upcoming fiscal year. As part of this important evaluation, Public Entity Partners engages independent actuaries to conduct a detailed rate review and capital adequacy study. We conduct a rate study every other year and a capital adequacy study every three to five years. These reviews ensure that our rates are adequate to cover claims and that our pool can withstand a catastrophic loss, allowing us to be there for our members for years to come.

As you know, our Board of Directors represents our member partners and provides insight into the governance of Public Entity Partners’ operations and steers the direction of our organization. A few years ago, following an extensive planning process with our leadership team, the Board approved a 2021-2023 Strategic Plan that included revised vision and mission statements, core values and organizational values. These components are important as they guide and define the programs we seek to provide to our members in the years to come.

I had the privilege of co-presenting a session at the January training meeting of the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police (TACP), along with Chief Steve Isbell of the Dyersburg Police Department. The session was titled “Decision-Making: A Risk Management Case Study.” Law enforcement education, awareness of reasonable actions, sound decision-making, de-escalation and officer wellness are initiatives that Public Entity Partners strongly supports.
