ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION & RECONSTRUCTION
|
Michigan State University's
Highway Traffic Safety Programs is the only organization in Michigan, and
one of the premier training organizations in the United States, that
offers a long-term, coordinated, comprehensive (basic, technical,
advanced reconstruction, update/refresher, and computer) series of
traffic crash training programs.
|
Varying levels of training have
been available from Michigan
State University
for the past 30 years and currently there are over 6,000 police officers
trained in one or more of the programs. The Michigan State University
Accident Investigation series is offered on a regional basis throughout
the State of Michigan, and due to many requests, our series is being
implemented in other states. Any individual course offering, or the
entire coordinated series, may be presented at any suitable training
location.
|
Training Programs
Currently, there are over 25
different Accident Investigation and Reconstruction training programs.
Our programs begin with basic accident investigation techniques to
advanced levels, using computer analysis to determine speed, principle
direction of thrust, Delta V, damaged vehicle profiles and more. These
courses are offered to police officers, traffic engineers, lawyers,
re-constructionist, insurance representatives and other corporate
entities.

|
The overall objective of our
training is to prepare police officers to respond to major or minor
traffic crashes; decide what must be done in terms of recognizing,
recording and interpreting data; and to take informed enforcement action.
Once the enforcement action is chosen, this training will help the
officer with the "step-by-step" procedure of the investigation,
case preparation, and presentation needed for a successful prosecution.
