Jonathan Farris serves as the chairman of PursuitSAFETY’s Board of Directors.
Jonathan Farris has amazing insight about this public safety issue. At PursuitSAFETY events, the most common remarks about Jon center around his genuineness, understanding and kindness. Oh, yes, and always repeated are these words: "I so enjoyed talking with Jon."
Candy Priano, PursuitSAFETY's founder and executive director, nominated Jon to lead the organization. "Jon is an accomplished insurance executive, understands legal issues and, most important, Jon appreciates that PursuitSAFETY is synonymous with family. We, like you, have a passion for protecting innocent bystanders and the people we love."
Jon and Roberta Farris’ oldest son Paul was killed in 2007—the innocent victim of another unnecessary police chase. Since that time Jon has been an active advocate for changing police pursuit laws across the United States. Jon is also a cancer survivor and has been a mentor for men diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Jon is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is the owner of InsuranceRescue Services, LLC, a P&C insurance consultancy. During Jon’s 34-year insurance career, he has held numerous insurance management and officer positions for regional, super-regional, national and international insurers. He has extensive experience in both personal and commercial insurance, including underwriting, sales, marketing, product development, pricing, regulatory compliance, internal audit, system development, corporate communications, commercial loss control and premium auditing.
Jon's consulting clients have included managing general agencies, national independent agencies, insurance companies, FAIR Plans and partnerships with litigation teams as an expert witness.

"Police pursuits, for the most part, are merely a passing newspaper story or television headline, forgotten by readers and viewers a few minutes later. But for the hundreds of relatives and thousands of friends of these innocent victims, the pain is real and never goes away. Never.." —Jonathan Farris, Wisconsin. |
