This 80-hour course is designed for those officers who wish to advance to the level of reconstructionist. The course contains reconstruction methodologies, derivation of equations and the knowledge necessary to eventually qualify as an expert. The training will also focus on the sensitivity of the methods to uncertainties in field data and vehicle dynamics. Interested students should have completed SRR’s Basic Crash Investigation and SRR’s Advanced Crash Investigation or their equivalence as a prerequisite.
