Accident Reconstruction Training & Certification

Fundamentals of pedestrian collision investigation and reconstruction, case studies illustrating potential defense attacks, and evaluation of a case file to assess additional investigation that might strengthen the case. This class is intended for crash investigators, collision reconstructionists, and prosecutors. NYSTARS members - $50 non-members - $75

This is a 35-hour program led by expert instructor Tim Maloney. Tim will be in-person for the duration of the week, providing hands-on instruction, software guidance, and personalized casework review. This intensive equips professionals with the scientific foundation and practical tools needed to accurately interpret driver behavior, enabling you to move beyond simple assumptions to provide data-driven, evidence-based opinions. While Tim Maloney leads the live daily instruction, the program features an exclusive 2-hour virtual guest session with Dr. Jeffrey Muttart, the world’s leading authority on driver behavior research. This session allows the class to engage directly with the source of the industry’s foundational data without leaving the classroom. LOCATION Montgomery County Public Training Center 1175 Conshohocken Road, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428 Attendees will train in a state-of-the-art facility specifically designed for high-level professional instruction. Located just outside of Philadelphia, the center offers a modern, tech-ready environment ideal for intensive technical training and collaborative casework.

IPTM’s annual Symposium on Traffic Safety is an intensive learning experience that focuses on the emerging technology and innovative solutions used in both the crash reconstruction and highway safety fields. Join crash investigation and impaired driving professionals from across the country on May 17-20, 2027 to expand your knowledge by attending breakout sessions in both tracks. Maximize your learning with hands-on activities with world-renowned experts, and explore the exhibitor hall for some of the industry’s most advanced products and services.

Crash Investigation 1 Online offers the same course content as the classroom-based Crash 1 and, like the on-ground version, is the foundation class for NUCPS’ Traffic Crash and Reconstruction courses. Crash 1 Online offers an in-depth study of the skills needed to investigate a traffic collision scene, thoroughly covering the techniques for recognizing and properly recording roadway and vehicle crash evidence, as well as information from involved parties and witnesses. Students learn to measure and photograph accident scenes and to create sketches and after-crash diagrams. Crash 1 also addresses how collected data are used to reconstruct traffic accidents and introduces the use of electronic devices for collecting and recording at-scene data. Crash 1 Online is asynchronous and instructor led.

This course is designed for officers who wish to enhance their knowledge and skill level in crash investigation far beyond that of a first responder. The content significantly extends the learning curve beyond what is offered in SRR’s Basic Crash Investigation course, yet follows that course in direct succession. Topics covered: Kinetic Energy, Conservation of Linear Momentum, In-line momentum, 360 momentum, time & distance analysis, acceleration rates/factors, multiple surface speeds, vector diagram, to name a few.

This course is designed for agency representatives who are currently active in photographing crash scenes. We will guide you through the proper use of your departmentally issued camera, using at least three different camera modes beyond the camera’s Auto mode. This training will be accomplished through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practical exercises. You will gain knowledge and confidence in both daytime and nighttime scene documentation, as two of the five days will be dedicated to nighttime photography through demonstrations of flash photography techniques and the use of available light. We will spend one day at a local salvage yard, where you will apply the skills acquired in the classroom to simulate the post-crash vehicle inspection normally at the impound lot. You will also learn macro techniques for recording close-up evidence, including vehicle lamp photography. You will leave this course with a confident working knowledge of techniques for photographically recording vehicles, vehicle damage, and vehicle-related evidence with your departmentally issued digital camera. The course requires full attendance of all scheduled instruction, completion of all planned projects assigned, and evaluation by the instructors.

This course is a Hybrid remote synchronous course offering. It will be both live in-person at the host agency, as well as live on Zoom for anyone wishing to attend remotely. This advanced-level course is designed for traffic crash investigation and reconstruction professionals seeking to strengthen their ability to apply Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) information within comprehensive collision reconstructions. Instruction focuses on advanced analytical methods for incorporating CDR data into reconstruction methodology and interpreting vehicle event data within the broader context of physical evidence and engineering principles. Students will work through practical applications designed to strengthen analytical decision-making and improve confidence when incorporating event data into professional crash reconstruction.
