This has been going on for a long time. At least decades, if not centuries (remember that insurance is a very old business).

In the 1940's there were very popular radio dramas that aired every week following the adventures of insurance investigators, and their cozy alliances with law enforcement.

For anyone who's interested, I suggest the 1946 thriller 'The Killers' about an insurance agent who teams up with a cop to investigate a murder.
This is the premise behind the classic 1944 film Double Indemnity. It holds up today and is worth a watch!
