Nah a reconstructionist is that I can investigate a traffic collision and be able to determine how fast vehicles were traveling based on crush damage and skid marks. basically to determine who is at fault at an accident.

lol actually I am a TMCI (Traffic Management Collision Investigator) MPI are those other folks they dont know much about traffic collisions. I am the NCOIC (Non-Commishened Officer in Charge) of the section, but only have currently one other Investigator in my section. Other sergeant had a stroke. He is doing better but not back yet. I really love my job, its just lately being under manned runs a tool on you. working 12 hr shifts then being on call the other 12 hrs just to come in and do it all over again the next day. Some collisions take a couple of hours to get everything right, where as big collisions can take up to 6 or more hours to complete
