Florida’s top highway safety official wants to put more troopers who specialize in investigating highway fatalities out on the road.
Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Director Julie Jones told members of the Florida Cabinet this week that she wants to train all troopers on how to investigate simple fatalities that involve a single car, such as when a car crashes into a tree.
Jones said that will save time by allowing a trooper who responds to an accident to begin an investigation immediately, rather than wait for an investigator.
Jones said the current class at the academy is being trained to investigate simple fatalities. Starting in February, current troopers will start attending a special school to get the extra training on investigating accidents.
