The Rinehart Agency has provided insurance protection to public entities since 1988. We currently provide public entity insurance to more than 250 public entities including Municipalities, Villages, Townships, Fire Departments, Fire Districts, EMS / Ambulance Districts, Soil and Water, Sewer and Water Districts, and Libraries throughout the State of Ohio.
Along with public entity insurance, Rinehart Insurance offers risk management to assist in the identification of potential and/or existing liability and property exposures that exist within a Public Entity’s operations. As such, the following are services conducted by the Risk Management Department.
Risk Management Services

Recommendations: Recommendations will be made from the information gathered during the profile to assist in reducing identified areas of liability and property exposures
Technical Assistance: On-site visits to discuss problem areas, specific concerns, and to assist in the development of written policies and procedures for a Public Entity’s operations.
Policy and Procedure Review: The Risk Management Department will review and assist in developing policy and procedure manuals, and offer written opinions from the review..
Law Enforcement and Fire / EMS Committees: The committees consist of department personnel from various public entities to assist in addressing, developing and reviewing policies and procedures and liability concerns related to specific operations.
Resource Material: The Risk Management Department has a large volume of resource materials available for review and assistance.
