Major Crash Investigation Unit
Features
The Patrol currently has twenty officers assigned to five Major Crash Investigation
Units, located strategically throughout the state. The primary mission of the MCIU is to investigate and
provide detailed reporting of serious crashes involving fatalities, commercial motor vehicles and
crashes resulting in felony criminal charges. The crash teams also assist other law enforcement agencies
with serious traffic crash investigations and critical crime scene mapping. The teams utilize Robotic
Total Station technology, which allows for the accurate and fair depiction of crash and crime scenes
diagrammed to scale. Each officer is trained in the human, mechanical and environmental factors of traffic
crash investigation. They are considered court experts in the field of traffic crash investigation.
