The cornerstone of the Par Plan is its Risk Control program. The Michigan Township
Participating Plan responds to its members through the application of uniform underwriting
criteria addressing members exposure to loss.
The use of professional risk control personnel trained to meet the members specific
departmental needs allows for the application of meaningful risk control techniques.
Techniques that are specifically designed for governmental entities to assist in the prevention
and reduction of potential losses. By accepting the assistance of the Risk Control Department
and following established Risk Control procedures and maintaining an ongoing dedication to
loss prevention, members make the commitment to contain and control premium costs and
assure the continuation of long-term availability of coverages for their municipality.
Our Risk Control Service is implemented through a variety of methods including:

specific operations as they pertain to the municipality. The visit is then followed by a written
review and recommendations regarding risk exposures.
