Winter 2011-12 In-Service Course Catalog
This new course is the second level in a series of traffic crash investigation courses. The
emphasis of this course is to build upon the principles and material covered in NEMRT's
Traffic Crash Investigation (Level I) (previously Basic Accident Investigation)course.
This course will provide officers with the skills needed to understand and utilize more
advanced traffic crash techniques and procedures. This course is primarily intended for
patrol officers or investigators who handle more serious traffic crash investigations as part of
their normal duties and it will also serve as an excellent training platform for more advanced
traffic crash investigation techniques.
Course topics will include:
- Vehicle damage analysis including directional thrust and rotation
- Human factors as part of the chain of events in traffic crashes
- Identifying and interpreting roadway dynamics, vehicle and surface markings
- Lamp filament evidence including head, tail and turn signals.
- Tire evidence
- Newton’s Laws of Motion in relationship to traffic crash investigation
- Geometric and Trigonometry calculations relative to this level of training
- Collecting and documenting physical evidence
- Traffic crash photography
- Blue Blitz Traffic Crash Template usage
- Field and final diagram utilizing different measurement techniques
- Practical exercises and case studies
Participants must bring a calculator with square root capability, basic metal drawing
compass, 25’ and 100’ steel tape measure and a digital camera to class with them.
Officers will be provided with the third edition of the textbook "Technical Traffic Crash
Investigator's Handbook, (Level 3), A technical Reference, Training Investigation and
Reconstruction Manual by R. W. Rivers.
This course will require some reading from the textbook during the course. A prerequisite
will be that each student enrolled will have successfully passed the NEMRT Traffic Crash
Investigation (Level I) (Basic Traffic Accident) course and will be expected to have
reviewed the prior student manual prior to the first day of this class. A pre-test will be given
at the very beginning of class the first day.
