CRASH RECONSTRUCTION

  • August 21 - September 1, 2023

Prerequisite: The successful completion of an advanced crash investigation course.

Course Description: Many trained peace officers have difficulty getting their crash investigation findings admitted into court.  This course is designed to help overcome this difficulty by enabling a well-trained peace officer to qualify as an expert and give expert testimony in a court of law relative to the causation factors in motor vehicle traffic crashes.  Crash reconstruction instructors provide training to students through lectures, projects, and in-depth analysis of actual collisions.  A student who successfully completes this course will be able to give expert testimony in the following areas:

  • Speed of vehicles at impact using conservation of linear momentum;
  • Behavior of vehicles in a collision using Newton's three laws of motion;
  • The effect of weight shift in braking involving large trucks and buses, including truck-tractor/semi-trailer combinations;
  • The effect of anti-skid braking systems in stopping distances and braking action;
  • The determination of direction of travel, initial contact, and position of vehicles on the roadway through the interpretation of vehicles damage and the analysis of at-scene marks and evidence

Who Should Attend: This course is designed for peace officers and individuals responsible for investigating motor vehicle crashes.
