Who Should Attend: Individuals that have completed SRR's Advanced Crash Investigation and/or SRR's Crash Reconstruction or their equivalence.
This class is a comprehensive review, plus known updates, in the field of crash investigation. Crash investigation and reconstruction is a skill that requires those individuals that are called upon to investigate motor vehicle crashes to be a finder of facts. Were human factors involved? Was reduced visibility a causative factor? Could it be that the crash was unavoidable? Was mechanical failure an issue? Was it preventable? These, an numerous other issues, will be discussed in this week long review with others charged with the answering the same questions, "Who and/or what caused the crash?"
