if you have a trade policy they don't mind, I am sure the police will be up on insurance and provide the details and the insurance.

I know adrian flux don't mind aslong as you tell them.

This is great but do you know what springs to my mind. Isn't it a crying shame that our services have such a lack of resources that they may well have to rely on volunteers.
That said if RAYNET were called out I would probably be there too.

so they are not expecting many people to comply with all of the above.

Seems like a stupid idea then if thats the case.

Most people have the most basic and cheapest insurance around so can't see many being able to do it, Atleast when you speak to adrian flux they know their stuff.

Almost certainly not. Police forces have 3rd party on their vehicles with massive public liability. They take the hit on the replacement cost of the vehicles involved. However budgets are tight hence the reasons youre seeing loads of older tattier cop cars around.

Fully comp to cover everyone all of the time including volunteers is prohibitively expensive and would consume too much of the police budget.

Not entirely true. It depends entirely upon the policy you hold. Flux are brokers. They supply policies from loads of different companies all of whom have different takes on this.

ALWAYS ensure your insurer knows exactly what youre up to and you have business cover. I checked with several insurers after a heated debate on here last year re transportation of prisoners. All companies said in the event of a problem in those circumstances they would almost certainly NOT have paid up.

Do not accept a memo of understanding, a response plan or a protocol as a replacement, they arent. Without sounding tight also establish where your guaranteed expenses are coming from. I am aware of one force who were not going to pay up until my opposite number in that area campaigned heavily.

These are all areas where individuals have either survived by luck or got caught out.

Remember good will wont pay your bills, repair your truck or look after your widow. Not being pessimistic, being realistic.
