CNA Municipal Liability Insurance Program

At NSA, we understand the plight of law enforcement officials who get sued for acts committed or not committed in the performance of their duties. That's why NSA has sponsored an insurance program that is designed specifically for public safety agencies. Your administrator may currently be purchasing insurance on your behalf and that of your community. Are you sure they are aware of all of your particular coverage needs?

NSA endorses an insurance program developed by law enforcement for law enforcement - The CNA Municipal Insurance Program. CNA is one of the nation's largest property and casualty insurers and an industry leader in a variety of markets. CNA has been providing insurance to public entities for decades. The law enforcement liability coverage is custom tailored to provide maximum protection for you, your officers, employees and your agency. Get involved in the placement of your community's insurance. Contact NSA or your local CNA agent today.
