This course is approved for 2.5 hours of continuing education credits by Missouri POST and the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators (ABMDI)
Who Should Take This Course
Approximately 6,200 pedestrians were killed in vehicle crashes in 2018. A pedestrian who is struck by a vehicle can suffer significant trauma during the encounter. Injury severity changes with speed of the vehicle, type of vehicle, as well as the age and health of the pedestrian.
An analysis of the injuries which were suffered by the person from the impact can help to determine how the crash occurred. In addition, the dynamics of the crash can be determined by looking at evidence from various sources at the scene
This training is designed for the police officer, coroner/ME investigator, traffic homicide investigator, or accident reconstructionist who wants to improve skills, knowledge, and techniques while investigating pedestrian-vehicular collisions.
The instructor will walk the student through the dynamics of a pedestrian impact and post-impact movement by applying them to Newton’s principles of motion. The student will then learn how vehicle design effect post-impact dynamics and how injuries occur at the point of impact, as well and during all post-impact movements.
Students will further learn what evidence and facts can be gain through an understanding of injuries to the body, as well as evidence from the vehicle and roadway.
The course will summarize all learning objectives by detailing six actual pedestrian crash incidents and analyzing injuries, body movement, vehicle and roadway evidence, and witness statements. This course does contain actual crash scenes and graphic injury photographs.
This is an online video training and is designed to be interactive with students by random quizzes and a final exam. Student login and time are tracked per student to verify the time spent in the course if needed. Testing cannot be done until the videos are watched. Many of the videos have a unique symbol or picture that will appear prominently in the video and is part of the test questions, this will ensure the video has been watched. Certificates will only be available for print after the successful completion of the course material.
Each certificate will indicate that it was an online training and will note the approval control number and the CLEE hours given.
