In an effort to provide continuous training service to the New Mexico law enforcement community, and in compliance with the governor’s order mandating no large gatherings, The New Mexico Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Division (NMDOT TSD) and Safer New Mexico Now (Safer), will begin hosting a virtual Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) course on Thursday, November 19, 2020 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
To attend the virtual training, participants must have access to Zoom through a computer desktop or the Zoom mobile app. Zoom can be downloaded by visiting https://zoom.us/
Students will gain the necessary skills to conduct a thorough traffic crash investigation and properly document findings for courtroom presentations. Students will learn the proper procedures for measuring, scale diagramming, and photographing in order to record physical evidence and essential facts available only at the crash scene. Training topics include fundamentals of mathematics, physics, and engineering as they pertain to crash investigations, and the proper mathematical equations to apply for the type of crash being investigated. Additionally, students will learn to analyze the information to determine what happened before, during, and after the collision.
PREREQUISITE: Students must be experienced field officers with a strong understanding of mathematical concepts.

The Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) class assists law enforcement personnel in developing, implementing, and managing traffic safety programs. Students will learn to apply STEP to traffic problems in their particular area of responsibility. The course is designed for law enforcement personnel, including but not limited to, field officers, first line supervisors, managers, administrators, grant managers, and law enforcement program coordinators.
This training will address the advanced concepts of traffic crash investigations, such as acceleration/deceleration rates, and airborne situations. Students will learn to estimate speeds and calculate kinetic and linear momentum resulting from falls, vaults, and flips. Students will also learn to evaluate vehicle lamps, tires, and damage to help determine vehicle behaviors during collisions.
PREREQUISITE: Students must have completed the At-Scene Traffic Crash Investigation Training.

This day-long training demonstrates how to manage a successful DWI Checkpoint. All aspects of conducting DWI Checkpoints are covered, including objectives, operational plans, legal issues, safety concerns, and the NMDOT guidelines. Students will gain hands-on experience by observing a real checkpoint. This training is designed for law enforcement personnel currently in supervisory capacities.

This 2-day training course will assist law enforcement personnel in developing the skills necessary to successfully operate Radar and laser technology. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the motivation, basic methods, principles, and operation of radar and laser technology used in speed enforcement. Training topics include detailed mathematic and scientific principles for successful use of radar and laser technology, information about moving and stationary radar, legal issues, and preparing for court testimony. The course is designed for law enforcement personnel, including but not limited to, field officers and first-line supervisors.
Course Prerequisites and Requirements: Students should bring a radar unit (in-car and/or hand-held), LIDAR unit, reflective vest, and note taking material. Students may attend one class or both classes.
You must register for all three courses in the series to receive credit.
The training will assist the students with further understanding of vehicle dynamics in a crash. Students will take part in more intense study of time/distance calculations, angular momentum, and impact speed calculations using momentum equations. Students will gain hands-on experience in crash reconstruction through extensive project work and controlled vehicle experiments. Each student will be required to diagram and analyze different crash scenarios, as well as complete vector sum analyses of each.
PREREQUISITE: Students must have completed the Advanced Traffic Crash Investigation Training.
