Providence, RI – The Rhode Island State Police recently conducted nighttime collision reconstruction training to enhance their ability to investigate serious crashes after dark.
According to the department, the exercise focused on refining key technical skills including nighttime photography, drone operations, and 3D scene scanning. These abilities are essential when documenting and analyzing crash sites that occur in low-light conditions.
The training took place during evening hours and involved the use of police cruisers, road flares, and aerial drones to simulate real crash scene environments. By improving their proficiency in advanced imaging and data capture, troopers aim to produce more accurate reconstructions of traffic incidents, which can be critical in determining causes and preventing future collisions.
Officials noted that since many serious collisions occur at night, ongoing practice ensures investigators are prepared to respond efficiently and safely in all conditions.
This initiative is part of a broader statewide effort to enhance traffic safety and evidence documentation through modern technology.
