Learn the latest theories and methodologies of crash reconstruction and expand your knowledge of the principles of collision analysis in this advanced course. We will explore topics that have previously received limited coverage, as well as many new ones. While the course can be thought of as “in-service” training for traffic crash reconstructionists, ACTAR candidates will also find it beneficial.

We will review the mathematical equations that are used in conjunction with crash data to interpret how a collision occurred. Emphasis will be placed upon skid characteristics, spin analysis, critical speed yaw analysis and friction. The concepts of time-distance, uniform circular motion, pole impacts, and conservation of linear momentum are just a few of the topics that will be covered.

As part of the course, you will be required to complete several in-class projects and a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary project designed to reinforce the class material.

Topics IncludeUsing geometry, trigonometry and selected mathematical topics as neededDynamics, kinematics, and Newton’s Laws of Motion as vector equationsDrag/acceleration factor testing and determinationCritical speed yaw analysisImportant differences between CSY and spin analysisTime-distance analysisPole and narrow object impactsApplications of conservation of linear momentumFundamentals of rollover crash reconstructionUniform projectile motion and airborne speed analysis

This class is a 40-hour block of the 2024 Kentucky State Police, agency-wide Law Enforcement Avoidance Position Program, with an emphasis on injury avoidance, while also controlling the suspect in high-stress situations. Emphasis on protecting the perpetrator as well as the officer through technique and confidence when in a physical altercation. This will be accomplished by learning, understanding, and demonstrating effective techniques as well as being able to not only articulate their actions but also justify them. Knowing the legality and having the confidence to execute the proper technique at the correct time.

This course is specifically designed for Telecommunicators. It aims to provide them with a thorough understanding of the duties and responsibilities involved in handling human trafficking calls, as well as instructing them on how to document such calls. The course will also cover the various types of human trafficking and how to recognize the signs of trafficking during a phone interview with a caller. By the end of the course, students will be able to comprehend better and identify human trafficking cases and will know who to contact. The course will be held in Frankfort.

The Instructor: Ricky Lynn is a Detective with the Frankfort Police Department's SVU section. Detective Lynn was previously a Detective with the Lexington Metro Police Department for many years. He is currently the lead investigator on many human trafficking cases. 

KLEC Course # 2207-18K

This course focuses on helping telecommunicators develop the skills & knowledge needed to ensure they accurately use all resources available to assist in locating a missing person. This course will provide information on initial call taking, state and federal policies, various resources available through CJIS, and resources such as NamUS and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Students will learn how to use these policies and resources to assist law enforcement in locating or identifying a missing person.

The instructor: Miranda Luttrell is the Manager of the Post 15 Columbia radio room and is also an Adjunct Instructor for the Kentucky State Police Academy. She has been dispatching since 1999 and teaches several classes in the academy including CJIS/NCIC.
