The Advanced Crash Management and Technical Crash Management courses train crash investigators to become proficient in the analysis and interpretation of crash data. The training includes lecture and project work addressing damage analysis, thrust diagramming, pre-and post-impact speed determinations, and time position analysis.

Officers must successfully complete each course with a grade of 70% to pass and a test grade of 80% before progressing to the next level. There is no cost to attend these classes. Personnel taking these courses will be completing considerable math-oriented project work and should possess proficiency in basic math and algebra. Students will be issued drawing supplies and a calculator for the courses and should bring appropriate clothing/gear for the outdoor projects.
