This course is designed to demonstrate the techniques of collecting basic crush data for analysis.  Officers contemplating enrollment in this 5-day course should have taken as a minimum, SRR’s Basic Crash Investigation or its equivalence.  The class will provide guidance, direction and “hands-on” training for officers on how to determine speed from structural damage to vehicles utilizing crush defamation measurements and energy conservation.  Officers, by conducting actual field exercises, will transform evidentiary data into mathematical calculations that will translate energy into speed.  This introductory course will be followed in succession as well as complexity for those who wish to enhance their knowledge of this investigatory technique.
