2020 Minnesota TZD Webinar Series

Case Reconstruction: Building Your Case After Leaving the Scene

Wednesday, October 21, 2020
10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Central Time

About the Webinar

Fatal crashes are often complex investigations, and adding a drunk or drugged driver makes them even more complicated. This webinar will explore strategies that can help make cases during the follow-up investigation, including backtracking suspects’ activities leading up to the crash, Drug Recognition Evaluator reconstruction, crash reenactment, obtaining toxicology results, understanding the legal issues in adjudicating drug-impaired drivers, and preparing for trial.
