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.

"Excellent. The best class I have taken.  Hands-on very informative .  A class that can be of great use to the crash investigator."

Sgt. Robert Davis, Jr. Natick, MA Police Department

"I was not sure what to expect since I was not well versed in crush - expectations were only that I would find out more about it.  It went miles over that! Bobby Jones is a completely competent and confident instructor who extends that to his class.  His teaching style and infectious good humor makes a potentially ponderous program absolutely enjoyable.

Sgt. Jill Simmons, New Bedford, MA Police Department  ACTAR #1022

"I've been to several schools and seminars in the country with some of the Nation's best instructors/speakers.  This is among the best!

Deputy Kurt Twaddell, Dutchess County Sheriff's Office, Poughkeepsie, NY   ACTAR #1310
