Why would any agency use something else? Been using since 1993-5 S8/PH came out after. I recall it was 104 pages, now over 500 of detailed policy updated as needed. Great product. If you paid someone to write from scratch-1-it would cost you more than 5,000 and 2-it would not be as good. Hello?? I am an attorney and do some consulting, I have been asked to write policies, I tell them in good conscious I can not just buy the Nan Mckay....
