This category <br />includes damage caused during welfare checks, the service of <br />warrants, SWAT operations, lost or destroyed evidence, and damage <br />to an uninvolved third party's property. In FY07 sixteen claims were <br />filed for a total incurred of $32,956. Eight claims have been paid and <br />closed, three were closed without payment and five remain open. <br />Motor vehicle accidents were again one of the most <br />common type of claim with ten claims filed. These claims <br />also represented 65% of the department's total incurred for all claims in FY07 <br />($86,179). Five of these claims involved only minor property damage with the <br />largest claim payment of $1,500. The other claims involved injuries, four of which <br />are not yet resolved. Injury accidents resulting from at-fault yearend and intersection <br />collisions explain the spike in motor vehicle accident costs for FY07. <br />14 <br />12 <br />10 <br />8 <br />6 <br />4 <br />2 <br />Police Department <br />requency of MVAs Involving Damage to Third Parties <br /> <br /> 70 <br /> 8 8 <br />3 _ .. _ <br />FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FYO~ <br />Pol ice De partrn ent <br />Seventy of MVAs Involving D amage to Third.
