Western property and casualty insurer, Capital Insurance Group (CIG), announced today it is partnering with The Protector Network a benefits provider of safety, security and risk-management tools and information — to give CIG policy clients an unprecedented reward program.

The purpose of the program is to provide CIG-insured households and businesses with ways to reduce risks, prevent catastrophes, and respond to emergencies. Clients of CIG (http://www.ciginsurance.com) will receive complimentary memberships to The Protector Network. The benefits last for the lifetime of a policy.

Peter Cazzolla, CIG President and CEO, said, “We believe that it’s the role of the insurance industry to help people achieve real peace of mind. To that end CIG Insurance Advisors show clients the best ways to defend and recover their financial investments in a home, auto and business, while The Protector Network is designed to provide CIG-insured clients with tools they need to best protect their lifestyle or business from avoidable loss, damage or accidents.”

Complimentary benefits in The Protector Network include:

* Identity Monitoring Services and Fraud Alerts with all 3 Credit Bureaus
* Security Guard software to protect you while shopping online
* Lost or Stolen Credit Card Emergency Response Service
* Free legal assistance for common legal reasons, such as simple living
wills, official letters and phone calls, small-claims or traffic-court
advice and document review.
* Free tax preparation assistance and counseling services.

Plus, CIG clients can save hundreds of dollars each year by taking advantage of a host of member savings from brand partners — safety prevention products and equipment, capped attorney fees, financial management software, rental car discounts, and more.

In addition, members get access to an exclusive online safety-and-security library, a directory of local emergency response or prevention services, and an e-store featuring discounts on a variety of useful safety and security products.

The Protector Network is reinventing the definition of “Peace of Mind” for the insurance industry with a one-stop bundle of safety, security and savings. Its mission is to give voice to the safety and security needs of the public.

“We’re out to change the run-and-hide reputation associated with ordinary insurance,” said Sandie Borthwick, administrator of The Protector Network. “We believe people really want this sort of control over their safety and security plans. They just couldn’t find it until The Protector Network came along.”
