The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan will present the Traffic Safety Training Program Webinar “An Overview of Traffic Crash Reconstruction” on Thursday, October 10, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Impaired driving cases many times involve crashes that result in serious injuries and/or fatalities. A detailed investigation of the crash can be critical to helping a prosecutor prove their case in court where a crash has occurred. The Michigan State Police’s Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit has been around since the 1970s. The goal of the unit is to accurately determine how a crash occurred based on gathering facts at the scene and applying physics to those facts.
This webinar will provide prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and other traffic safety partners with a better understanding of the following topics:
• A basic overview of the MSP Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit.
• The different levels of crash investigators in law enforcement.
• The callout process when a crash occurs.
• The tools of the trade.
• Event Data Recorders (EDRs) and what data is recorded and can be recovered
• How to prepare with your crash investigator for court.
The webinar will be presented by Michigan State Police Specialist Sergeant Chad R. Lindstrom.
