Crime and Employee Dishonesty Insurance Policy
Homeowners Insurance
For most people, the home represents the most significant financial and emotional investment. Protecting that investment is very important!
However, not all homeowners insurance policies are created equal. Before you buy and periodically after you have purchased, it is important to review the protection afforded under your homeowner’s policy carefully.
Here are a few key coverage items that we believe should be included in almost every policy:
Theft
Theft of property, money or securities by employees is not covered under the property policy. The property policy will also exclude theft of money and securities regardless of who commits the crime
Alternative Names
The crime insurance policy has many aliases. Blanket crime policy, employee dishonesty and fidelity bond are just a few of the names you find for this coverage.

Crime and Employee Dishonesty Insurance Policy is serious. Businesses of all types need this coverage either as a stand-alone policy or an endorsement of a package policy. The potential for loss is significant.
