Yes, the major K&R products bundle a named crisis response firm. Chubb's policy includes guaranteed access to The Ackerman Group, an independent consulting firm that handles hostage recovery, including negotiations, coordination with law enforcement, protecting ransom funds and, when appropriate, delivering them.
