This class differs from the current Crash Investigation Series and Reconstruction Classes in that it will concentrate on the identification, collection, and preservation of evidence. This class will be focused on gathering and preserving evidence in the event a crash should need to be reconstructed at a later time. The class will include only a short familiarization session on the math used in crash reconstruction. It will not have any testing on math equations. This class is meant for officers and departments that are concerned about having the needed information to assist a reconstructionist, should a follow up reconstruction be needed. Many departments do not have the man power to have a reconstructionist trained and on duty. This class will provide the department and trained officer with the background to assure the information is available should a reconstruction be deemed necessary for traffic or criminal charges. On-Scene Crash Investigation will run from 1 p.m. Monday through noon Friday. A certificate of completion will be issued by the Missouri Safety Center at University of Central Missouri. POST credit is available for all full-time Missouri law enforcement officers. Please contact Bev Richardson for our current non-Missouri law enforcement tuition fee.

Crash Investigation Series |
Designed to provide training and skills from basic to the advanced investigation of traffic crashes. This series must be taken consecutively and includes 6 courses, each 20 hours in length and are fully funded for qualified Missouri officers. The course will require the student to perform math skills that are equal to upper lever high school or college freshman level math by the completion of Crash 6. Please contact Bev Richardson for our current non-Missouri law enforcement tuition fee.
All 6 courses will be held at the Kansas City Missouri Police Academy,
6885 NE Pleasant Valley Rd., Kansas City, MO. Directions to KCPD Academy: From northbound I-435, take the Shaol Creek Rd. exit, turn left under I-435 to "T" intersection & turn left onto Pleasant Valley Rd to Academy. MAP
Crash 1 - Completed - Provides a foundation of knowledge for new or inexperienced officers, through which the major goal of this series may be accomplished. Will also serve as a refresher to officers who have been through a basic traffic crash investigation course. Topics include properly completing the Missouri Uniform Accident Report (new form), new terminology, calculator functions, basic mathematic equations and formulas, as well as officer safety, securing a scene, identifying evidence, field sketches and scale drawings. The course will require the student to perform math skills that are equal to upper lever high school or college freshman level math by the completion of Crash 6.

Crash 4 - June 11-13, 2008 - Provides officers with useful information necessary to develop advanced skills and proficiency in crash investigation. Designed for officers who have attended basic traffic crash investigation courses. However, this course serves as a great refresher for officers who wish to update their skills in field sketching, scale drawing and solving math formulas and equations used in reconstructing traffic crashes. The course will require the student to perform math skills that are equal to upper lever high school or college freshman level math by the completion of Crash 6.
Back to Top
Crash 5 - July 16-18, 2008 - Provides officers with information required to develop advanced skills in conducting crash investigations and solving mathematical equations utilized in completing a traffic crash reconstruction. Correctly solving mathematical equations used for crash reconstruction is highly emphasized. Specifically designed for officers who've successfully completed Crash III and IV, or other advanced traffic crash investigation courses. However, this course serves as a great refresher for officers who wish to update their skills in field sketching, scale drawing and solving math formulas and equations used in reconstructing traffic crashes. The course will require the student to perform math skills that are equal to upper lever high school or college freshman level math by the completion of Crash 6.
Back to Top
Crash 6 - Aug. 20-22, 2008 - Provides officers the opportunity to apply all aspects of crash investigation learned in Crash I-V for accurate and successful traffic crash reconstructions, including selecting the correct mathematical equation for specific situations, solving advanced mathematical equations, gathering, documenting and preserving evidence necessary to complete a successful and formal reconstruction. Crash IV and V are required for acceptance in Crash VI. The course will require the student to perform math skills that are equal to upper lever high school or college freshman level math by the completion of Crash 6.

Crash Reconstruction Preparation 12-Hours |
This course is designed to prepare officers for a Reconstruction Class. However, this class has been highly acclaimed by Certified Reconstructionists as great refresher course for Reconstructionists. Reconstruction Prep is a highly individualized course. A small class size and 3 or more instructors allows officers to work on their own individualized specific problem areas. Topics include evidence collection, field sketching, proper measurements for scaled drawings and identifying the events of a traffic crash. This course will prepare officers for a formal reconstruction course while developing proficiency in solving mathematical equations, as well as documenting, gathering and preserving evidence. Pre-requisites for this course are successful completion of Crash III and IV, or other formal advanced crash investigation courses. Tuition waived for qualified Missouri officers. Please contact Bev Richardson for our current non-Missouri law enforcement tuition fee.
Crash Recon Prep will be held at the Kansas City Missouri Police Academy,
6885 NE Pleasant Valley Rd., Kansas City, MO. Directions to KCPD Academy: From northbound I-435, take the Shaol Creek Rd. exit, turn left under I-435 to "T" intersection & turn left onto Pleasant Valley Rd to Academy. MAP
