Insurers force change on police departments long resistant to it
Insurance companies are successfully dictating reforms in police departments, a movement driven by the large settlements out of use-of-force cases.
Hasnain says:
Insurance companies: not the heroes we expected, but ones we will cheer on nonetheless in this case.
“John Chasnoff, a local activist who fought for years to get St. Ann to retool its chase policy, said he is dismayed that the catalyst for change was money — not the injuries to people including Cox.
“It’s an indictment on St. Ann police and their priorities that the voice of their insurers spoke louder than human lives,” Chasnoff said.”
