Public Risk Management

Paul Marshall is the Managing Director at The McGowan Companies responsible for developing the Active Shooter/Workplace Violence Insurance Program. Insuring over a thousand businesses, he has recently won the Insurance Business America’s Top Influencer/Innovator/Game-changer award. He explains the necessity of updating the Insurance policies in cases of mass shootings. As years roll on we are witnessing an ever greater threat of shooting incidents. The numbers don’t lie: 2017 recorded one act of mass shooting per day on average, a trend that has seen a steady increase during the last decade. Standard insurance policies have struggled to respond in satisfactory manner, precisely the reason why new and improved policies emerged.
