What insurance are Police Support Volunteers (PSVs) covered by?
• PSVs are covered by public liability insurance wherever they undertake their volunteering duties. In addition, the Constabulary’s insurance will cover damage to the PSV’s property and also injury/death to the PSV that results from the negligence of the Constabulary. Note that the personal accident insurance only covers PSVs for a serious permanent disability (e.g. loss of a limb, eye etc.). It does not provide cover for minor or temporary injuries. • Private vehicles belonging to PSVs are not covered by the Constabulary’s Motor Fleet policy. It is the PSV’s responsibility to ensure the adequacy of his or her own private motor policy for potential business use.
