Level II (Advanced) Crash Investigation School

Overview

Building upon the theories and techniques learned in the Level I Crash Investigation course, this class will delve into the advanced concepts of traffic crash investigations.

More complex vehicle dynamics like acceleration/deceleration, factor, rate, and airborne situations will be explored. You will learn to estimate speeds from falls, vaults, and flips, and the calculation of kinetic energy and linear momentum. You will also learn to evaluate vehicle lamps, tires, and damage to help determine vehicle behaviors during the collision.   

This school will be taught by experienced crash reconstructionists and is aimed at patrol and traffic officers wishing to expand their traffic crash investigation skills. This is the second step of three toward becoming a crash reconstructionist.

This is a two-week school. 

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Level I (At-Scene) Crash Investigation School.
