What is the source of the crash report information?
The “online crash reports” come directly from the Patrol’s nine troop headquarter radio rooms. When an officer investigates a motor vehicle crash that involves an injury or a death, the officer makes a radio report to the respective troop headquarters where the crash occurred. The radio operator types the radio report into the Patrol’s computer system and then sends it to all other troop headquarters and General Headquarters. By using a special code, the radio operator can transmit the online crash report where it is automatically posted.
