This 40-hour course will provide police officers with the knowledge and skills they need, to investigate a motor vehicle crash involving a motorcycle. This course is designed to expand the thinking of current crash investigators with new ideas and concepts. According to NHTSA’s latest findings dated August 2019, there were 51 deaths involved in the operation of a motorcycle in MA for 2017, and many times, it was not the fault of the motorcyclist.
This comprehensive 5-day course covers what you need to know in relation to these types of crashes to be able to complete the investigation. As our roads become more crowded and gas prices fluctuate, more and more people will be turning to cheaper transportation creating an increase of motorcyclists on our public ways. Motorcycle crash investigations are often challenging as the operation of a motorcycle is quite different from a motor vehicle such as a car or truck. So are the effects of steel vs. steel crash than steel vs. flesh crash. Presentation of crash examples and investigation techniques will be explored and studied along with the fact that students will have opportunities to review and use mathematical equations in relation to basic reconstruction concepts as they proceed through the course of study. Courtroom experience of the instructor 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.
35 ACTAR CEUs will be awarded following successful completion of this course for ACTAR accredited reconstructionists.
