EDR USE IN TRAFFIC CRASH RECONSTRUCTION
This course will teach you how to analyze any event data recorder (EDR) data you encounter,
regardless of the manufacturer. You will also learn how to analyze the EDR data which has been
collected with any imaging tools, including propriety manufacturer tools, as well as from future
vehicles not yet released.
We will teach you how to use EDR data with roadway evidence calculations to yield a complete
reconstruction considering all available evidence. Simple checklists and guides will be provided to
improve your consistency and accuracy. Supplied templates will take some of the work out of more
complex analysis.
You will be given many EDR reports from real world crashes and will work in teams to analyze the EDR
data and reconcile it to the scene evidence you are given. Comprehensive solutions to these
problems will be distributed for future reference.
Prerequisite: IPTM's Traffic Crash Reconstruction
What to Bring:
• Recently closed or active personal cases (especially those involving very recent model
years meeting the Part 563 regulation)
• Laptop computer with Microsoft excel to work templates provided
• Calculator with cosine, tangent, and square root functions
During the course, we will teach you how to: • Analyze any set of EDR data you
encounter, regardless of
manufacturer
• Determine if the event recorded
is from your crash
• Identify circumstances where
EDR data is incomplete or has
nothing to do with your crash
• Understand Delta-V
• Use EDR Delta-V along with other
scene evidence to get closing
speed and speed at impact
• Use Delta V from the vehicle with
the recorder to determine the
Delta V of the other vehicle
• Determine the effect that
equipment modifications have
on EDR speed data
• Recognize vehicle operational
conditions that would cause EDR
speed data to not accurately
reflect true vehicle speed
• Use pre-crash data to identify
when a vehicle lost control in
order to select the peak speed
before the vehicle lost control
• Calculate the appropriate
ranges for Speed at Impact for
different EDR’s
• Use time-distance analysis to
estimate the point of first
perception
• Utilize EDR data to gain previously
unavailable insight into driver
behavior and approach speed
• Use OEM specific Excel©
templates to analyze EDR data
• Support Frye and Daubert
hearings with references to
copyrighted research and non-
copyrighted items
• Show analytical tools techniques
for heavy truck data

MODERN SAMURAI PROJECT
THE MSP PATH TO PERFORMANCE: 1 DAY AIWB + 2 DAY RDS
PISTOL Prerequisites: THIS IS AN LE ONLY CLASS. LE DISCOUNT IS ALREADY FACTORED IN
CLASS FEE DAY 1:
Although it has been around for a long time, Appendix Carry has seen a resurgence in
popularity in the last 5 or so years. While many people realize that it is an ergonomically
more efficient form of concealed carry, many misconceptions still exist limiting its true
potential.
After years of study with many great teachers culminating in the #15 FAST coin, I believe
I have developed a system to accelerate the performance of nearly anyone who has
chosen this method of carry.
Topics Covered:
• Why AIWB is more efficient than other forms of carry
• Holster Concerns
• Holster customization
• Clothing considerations
• Learning the draw from beginning to end (garment clear, firing grip, marrying the
hands, presentation)
• Drills designed to increase performance or understanding for self-diagnosis.
Day 2:
Red Dots on pistols are becoming more popular as options for carry weapons. Part of
mastery is training - here it is!
Topics Covered:
• Zeroing your red dot. 10 yard zero. 25 yard confirmation. Ammo selection.
• Draw and how to stop fishing for the dot. Why back up irons are necessary?
• Only use the necessary amount of information required to make an acceptably
accurate shot at the speed and distance required.
• Red dots up close. 5 yards and in.
• Red dots at distance
• Speed: Efficiency of draw and presentation. Concealed and Open setups.
Speed is the economy of motion. The Langdon presentation method. Speed is
not useless frenetic movement. Micro-Drill training method.
• Dot tracking: Grip, stance, dot movement, predictability. Stop over confirming

MANDATORY IN-SERVICE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING
BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
The following Bloodborne Pathogens Training meets the Federal Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, which was
adopted by the New Jersey State Public Employees Occupational Safety and
Health (PEOSH) Program. Training must be provided at the time of the emergency
responder’s initial employment and at least annually thereafter.
The standard requires that emergency responders have access to a qualified
trainer while taking on-line training to allow for interactive questions and answers,
if needed. This requirement can be met via telephone contact or through email
only if the trainer is available to answer emailed questions at the time the
questions arise (e.g., live chat). It is the responsibility of each
department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide their members with the name,
contact information and work hours of the qualified trainer designated to assist
with any questions.
The standard also requires that emergency responders are provided with an
explanation of the department’s/agency’s written exposure control plan, as well
as the means by which members can obtain a written copy. It is the responsibility
of each department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide this information to its
members. It is critical that each emergency responder knows what to do in the
event of an exposure and to be able to articulate their department’s/agency’s
exposure control plan.
If the emergency responder has questions relating to any training or modifications
made to existing procedures, they should consult with their designated qualified
trainer, supervisor, and/or appropriate legal advisor.
