MOBILITY FOR ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ARE OFTEN INVESTIGATED UNDER THE MOST TRYING OF CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS INCLEMENT WEATHER, BOTHERSOME ONLOOKERS, AND NERVOUSNESS AND INJURY TO THE VICTIMS. THE INVESTIGATIONS CAN CAUSE EMBARRASSMENT TO THE VICTIMS AND HAMPER THE INVESTIGATION OFFICERS. SINCE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS MUST BE CARRIED OUT ON THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT, THE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE BRINGS AN INVESTIGATIVE OFFICER TO THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. THE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION UNIT IS A SELF-CONTAINED ROLLING OFFICE. WITH SPECIFIC ON-SCENE DUTIES TO PERFORM, THE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION UNIT PERFORMS A COMPLETE, THOROUGH AND EFFICIENT INVESTIGATION, IN MINIMUM TIME AND TO THE SATISFACTION OF ALL CONCERNED. WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SYSTEM, SERVICE WAS IMPROVED WITH CONSIDERABLE COST SAVINGS.
