When encountering, or responding to, an RTC, you must first secure the scene of the accident/collision.

1. Position your police vehicle appropriately in a fend off positions. Utilize your emergency lights to warn of oncoming traffic.

2. Get civilians off the road and to a safe location. 

3. Set up cones or barricades to redirect traffic.

After the scene is secure, call for assistance.

• If there are any injuries, call for EMS immediately. Ensure the EMS knows the exact location.

• Call Roadcrew to clean up the scene of the collision.

• (OPTIONAL) Call for a Road Traffic Officer to assist you at the scene. The RTO can also impound vehicles, should no roadcrew be on duty or respond. RTOs should wear their high-vis jacket when managing an RTC scene.

• One officer should ideally remain on the scene to keep the area clear. This may be disregarded if the roadcrew has a long response and/or other ongoing incidents demand an immediate response.

When the road is cleared, clean up your barricades and cones.

• Ensure that all your cones and barricades are picked up to avoid further accidents.
