Risk Management

Midwest Public Risk’s professional Risk Management Advisors strive to blend traditional safety approaches with new and innovative ideas.  Our focus is directed at creating and fortifying training programs to assure that Members are apprised and remain current with new legislation and case law.  MPR’s low staff-to-Member ratio (1 Risk Manager for each 13 Members) means each Member receives individual attention throughout the year.

Our full-time staff brings over 50 years of municipal risk management and safety experience.  MPR seeks to secure management consensus in all of the "Best Practices" safety programs.
