Each POOL/PACT member has access to a dedicated risk management specialist who is available to meet with the member and explore various risk management strategies appropriate for their given operations. The Loss Control Excellence Program involves a rigorous review of the member’s policies and procedures relating to employee engagement, employee and public safety, and general best practices. Members who complete the program receive a cash award and a plaque representing their commitment to implementing effective risk management measures. The Loss Control Excellence Program (LCEP) was launched in 1996. Under the program auspices, member entities participate in a rigorous review of all department policies and practices; from Parks and Recreation to Cyber Security.

Upon completion of the review and demonstration of conformity with best practices in public entity risk management, the member is presented with a Loss Control Excellence Award plaque acknowledging this achievement and a cash award for up to $25,000, depending on employee population and number of departments a member has. Additionally, upon completion of the LCEP, the member is eligible to appoint a representative to sit on POOL/PACT's Loss Control Committee and participate in development of risk management programs. The member must requalify for the LCEP award every three years. In interim years, the member may also qualify for a continuation award of 21% of the original award for enhancements to their risk management programs.
