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.
As owner and operator of Trackside Bar and Grill in Peosta, Lundgren is particularly well versed in what bars and restaurants have gone through in the past year in trying to adapt and survive amid the pandemic. That gave Lundgren a key vantage point in helping shape what state assistance for small businesses in Iowa might look like. Thankfully, Gov. Kim Reynolds listened.
Last week’s announcement that the Iowa Restaurant and Bar Relief Grant Program would provide one-time grants of up to $25,000 to businesses whose gross sales decreased in the second and third quarters of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was equivalent to a life preserver tossed to these establishments.
