1. A Law Enforcement officer
asks for my agency’s automobile
policy number following an
accident, how do I determine my
agency’s automobile policy
number?
Each agency policy number is
established using the following
convention AL 00-0000:
AL -
auto liability.
00 -
the first two digits are the
start of fiscal year (i.e.
fiscal year 2002/2003 would be
02).
0000 - the second four digits is
your agency location code (i.e.
the Department of
Transportation’s location code
is 2600). Therefore, the
Department of Transportation's
automobile policy number for
FY 02/03 is AL 02-2600.
Your
agency’s automobile policy
number can be kept on the
Fleet Automobile Liability
Insurance Information
pamphlet.
