Accident Scenes

[BigAl07]

Some agencies are so bureaucratic and technology averse. Here in AZ I happen to know the State DPS has a drone unit, what they do is a mystery. I live in Casa Grande, between Tucson and Phoenix. Hours to clear the crash site on I-10 every time with long traffic jams.

As an experienced collision investigator and collision reconstructionist, I'd get those tow trucks and ambulances on scene in munutes, map the scene with a drone in 5 and reopen that freeway in 30 minutes. Wish I could figure out what's the hold up. Just put a P4P on a couple of district squad cars and be done with it. Oh to be king of the world for just one day...

Exactly!!

I was an AR in the 90s. I would have killed for a drone.
New software. Check out Skyebrowse.
It can map the scene in 5 minutes.www.skyebrowse.com

I am a retired Colorado State Trooper and currently work for Hays County Sheriff's Office in Texas and I was a level II accident investigator. Like you sir, I could usually have the average crash scene cleared within about 45 minutes with the report just about completed. Sure wish I had drone technology back then.
