This course is open to law enforcement only.
This course will teach participants how to conduct a complete forensic examination of commercial motor vehicles involved in a crash, identify causal factors that contributed to the crash, and assist reconstructionists and prosecutors more thoroughly in criminal cases.
Students will address post-crash investigation considerations in the classroom and conduct “in the field” advanced post-crash inspections based on all available facts and evidence. Upon successful completion of this course, investigators/inspectors will be able to complete a comprehensive post-crash inspection, secure and collect evidence, identify pre- and post-crash violations, and properly document defects on inspection and additional reports.
