Course Description
Kean University’s Statewide Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program presents these workshops, which are free to Law Enforcement Crash Investigators, with funding and support from the New Jersey Division of Traffic Safety.
The Math & Physics Review Workshop for Crash Investigators was revised and updated in 2024. This interactive workshop deals with the mathematical equations and physics evaluations used by Crash Investigators. Attendees will be challenged to solve a variety of crash-related scenarios.
Attendees are strongly encouraged to review the basic principles of math and physics found in the Advanced Crash Investigation Courses before attending this workshop. To work out the problems during this workshop, a scientific calculator, a traffic template, and a 360-degree protractor will be needed.
