This course is designed to expand the thinking of the current Crash Reconstructionist with new ideas and concepts. Users will also be introduced to the safety issues and theory of defensive motorcycle operation.
Motorcycle crash reconstruction is often challenging as the operation of a motorcycle is quite different from a motor vehicle such as a car or truck.
Presentation of crash examples and reconstruction techniques will be explored and studied. Students will have an opportunity to review and use mathematical equations along with basic reconstruction concepts in completion of their course study.
Courtroom experience of the instructors will also be discussed along with suggestions for presentation methods to assist in the meeting of the requirements of our court systems for acceptance of applied techniques and demonstrative evidence such as diagrams and practical courtroom exhibits.
This course will cover a wide range of topics particularly focusing on problem areas typically experienced and encountered. These topics will be instructed by lecture, visual demonstration, use of class room projects and other assignments.
The student will also have an opportunity to conduct field studies from testing which will validate the mathematical theories.

Officer Arthur D'Ambrosia, Springfield, MA PD
The skid testing we did was helpful. I have very little experience with motorcycles, seeing how fast they can accelerate/stop and what happens with the tires in different skids is helpful.
Detective Grant Nichols, Alton, NH PD
All topics were needed to understand motorcycle crashes. They (the instructors) provided a step-by-step progression to the reconstruction of motorcycle crashes.
