Consultation Services
Safety and loss control consultation, and answers to your questions, are just an e-mail or phone call away. Staff members carry specialized degrees and direct experience in Safety, Human Resources, Public Works, and Public Administration.
Facility / Work Practices Reviews
MPR staff performs on-site reviews of Member facilities and parks at regularly scheduled times or upon request. In addition, the individual work practices of Members' crews are also evaluated as needed.
Pre-Litigation Consultations with MPR Designated Attorneys
MPR recognizes the significant exposures associated with employment practice, law enforcement liability and land use claims. When warranted, Members may receive a predetermined period of legal guidance from an attorney designated by MPR during the early stages of a potential claim in an effort to avoid or minimize litigation. Should a claim actually be filed, associated expenses will then be approached in the same manner as other claims would be processed for a similar event. These services are provided as part of the “core liability coverage services” at no additional charge. For more information, contact the MPR Risk Management team at (816) 292-7530.
