Police & Fire
Minnesotans benefit from the emergency services delivered by cities. Sometimes fire and police services are provided directly to residents, other times cities may collaborate with one another or a county for emergency services. Each of these services, though, presents a unique set of management and liability issues. The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) has developed materials and training to help members navigate these issues. More information, and materials, are available in this section of the web site.
