Church Mutual® Launches a New Armed Intruder Alert System for Customers
February 2, 2021 GMT
MERRILL, Wis. (BUSINESS WIRE) Feb 2, 2021
Armed intruder attacks can happen anywhere, at any time, typically with little or no warning. According to the National Sheriffs’ Association, the average police response time from the start of incident to their arrival is 15 minutes. Church Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. (a stock insurer) 1, is now providing eligible customers with a free emergency device, Pull for Police, to address that issue. When pulled, it works like a silent fire alarm to alert law enforcement of an armed intrusion and helping to decrease response time.
