Accident reconstruction is a scientific approach to solving the questions of how and why an accident occurred.
The approach to accident reconstruction includes the collection and processing of data, analyzing and developing scientific conclusions based on information such as vehicle rest position, evidence gathered at the scene and vehicle damage. The reconstructionist can also use engineering and physics information to determine speed, collision severity, and other causal facts involved in the collision.
Officer Harris pursued this certification through his own self-initiative. The Clarksville Police Department and the citizens of Clarksville will truly be the beneficiaries of Officer Harris’ hard work and willingness to take his expertise in accident reconstruction to the next level.
