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 24 different Accident Investigation training
programs. Our programs begin at 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.
