This equipment greatly reduces the time to process crash scenes. All the evidence is collected quickly without missing any detail, minimizing human error. The collected information is then utilized to create 2D and 3D diagrams, analyze velocities/momentum, and create courtroom animations of the accident scene. This Ordinance authorizes the expending an amount up to $105,000 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund for this purchase.
