Home > Police > Services > Road SafetyMajor Crash SectionThe Major Crash Section is based in Darwin and Alice Springs. Both sections offer support to police Territory-wide. The section's primary role is to investigate serious and fatal crashes throughout the Territory. It also investigates departmental (Police, Fire and Emergency Services) crashes. Major Crash Section officers have access to many and varied tools to assist in crash investigations and traffic enforcement. The most commonly used are tape measures, road marking paint and a digital camera. Other equipment includes:
Vehicles used by the Major Crash Section Darwin and Alice Springs Officers use Ford XR6 turbo sedans for crash investigation and traffic enforcement. Darwin officers currently use the BMW R1150 RT police motorcycle to assist with crash investigation, traffic enforcement, VIP escort duties and traffic flow monitoring at major sporting and public functions. When Major Crash Section staff are not investigating serious and fatal crashes, they have a secondary task of traffic enforcement and public education. Duties such as giving talks on the traffic laws of the Northern Territory to schools, defence force staff, community and other interested groups will hopefully help lower the Territory road toll. |
