Conference Presenters 2022

The following are the  presenters anticipated to be at the 2022 Conference:

.

 

  • Brad Muir/Jon Northrup, Crash Data Specialists LLC  –  Crash Test Data and CDR Update

    • Brad Muir brings 30 years of police experience, the last 21as a Collision Reconstructionist, with a large police agency in Ontario, Canada. Brad has extensive experience in passenger vehicle Event Data Recorders (EDR’s) and has been using this information in his cases since 1997. Brad has been a CDR user since its introduction in early 2000. Brad facilitated one of the earliest series of CDR validation crash tests in August 2000 in Ontario, and has been involved in over 200 such tests. Brad has been a CDR trainer since 2003. With Crash Data Specialists Brad instructs both the Operators as well as the Analysis and Applications course and the CDR Update courses.
    • Jon Northrup is a consulting Reconstructionist who retired from the Rochester NY Police Department after 27 years of service. During his time with the department he served as a Police evidence technician for 7 years and as the departments Principal Reconstructionist for nearly 14 Years. During this time he responded to the scene of a thousand fatal and serious physical injury motor vehicle collisions and was solely responsible for the technical investigation and reconstruction of over 500 of these collisions over the past 18 years. Jon also works extensively with crash testing at crash training and reconstruction conferences. This crash testing and other work he has been involved in has been featured on The History Channel, National Geographic Television, The Discovery Health Network and in Car and Driver and Collision Magazines. His ongoing work continues to advance the cutting edge of technical accident investigation and collision reconstruction methods and practice while also assisting the equipment and automakers to better understand how their in-vehicle data recorders can assist both Reconstructionists and the legal system in an improved understanding of what happens in real world vehicle crashes.

  • Tony Becker, MCJS, Forensic Training Group, LLC. –

    • Tony Becker has nearly 40 years of experience as a consultant and educator specializing in traffic crash reconstruction. Tony holds a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice Administration and is ACTAR certified. His law enforcement career also includes serving as an officer with the US Army, Henry County (IL) Sheriff’s Department, and Bloomington IL Police Department. He was Chief Deputy Coroner with McLean County (IL) Coroner’s Office, and Program Manager with the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board. Additionally, he served as an instructor, Traffic Section Coordinator and Associate Director with the Institute of Police Technology and Management (IPTM). During his time at IPTM, Tony developed and delivered state of the art curriculum in the field of traffic crash reconstruction and investigation, including IPTM’s Advanced Pedestrian/Bicycle Crash Investigation Course, based on his years of research in the area of Ped/Cyclist Crash Investigation. His publications, Fundamentals of Pedestrian / Cyclist Traffic Crash Reconstruction and Lamp Examination for Traffic Collision Investigators have been widely used in the field. Currently as a member of the Forensic Training Group, Tony has been involved in heavy truck testing in the area of digital evidence. He has also developed training curriculum in VCrash simulation software and the Synercon Technologies heavy truck system. He is currently serving a 3-year term as a member of the Crime Scene Investigation Subcommittee within the Organization of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC) for Forensic Science, working to strengthen the nation’s use of forensic science by supporting the coordination, development and implementation of technically sound, consensus-based documentary standards and guidelines.

  • Jeremy Daily, Ph.D., Colorado State University – Autonomous Vehicle Systems: Crash Data and Incidence Response     and    Vehicle Networking Concepts

    • Jeremy Daily served as an Assistant and Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tulsa (TU) from 2006-2019. In 2019, Dr. Daily accepted a position as an Associate Professor of Systems Engineering at Colorado State University where he continues to work on heavy vehicle cybersecurity and forensics. Jeremy Daily and Karl Heimer co-founded the CyberTruck Challenge in 2017. Dr. Daily serves as a director for the CyberTruck Challenge non-profit organization and actively recruits students to participate in this unique opportunity. In 2013, Dr. Daily started a technology company, Synercon Technologies, LLC, that has developed a data extraction tool for heavy vehicle event data recorder information. Law enforcement and crash reconstruction professionals all over the US and Canada use the Synercon Technologies systems for reconstructing crashes involving heavy vehicles. Synercon Technologies was acquired by DG Technologies in 2018.

  • John Daily, BSME,  Jackson Hole Scientific Investigations Inc –

    • John Daily joined the IPTM Adjunct Staff in 1982 and immediately began teaching the Advanced and Reconstruction classes. He retired in 2002 from the Teton County Sheriff’s Office after over 25 years of service, rising to the rank of Patrol Sergeant. He currently owns Jackson Hole Scientific Investigations, Inc. Mr. Daily began his law enforcement career in Teton County, WY.  He was responsible for many aggravated vehicular homicide investigations during his tenure, not only for his agency, but for other agencies around the State. At the time of his retirement, he was certified by Wyoming POST as a General Instructor. Mr. Daily has a BSME from Purdue University, which he received in 1972. Mr. Daily graduated from the University of Wyoming in May 2008 with the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree. His research topic was “A Method for Vehicle-Wooden Utility Pole Impact Speed Analysis”. Mr. Daily, along with other analysts, has conducted fundamental research in several areas of traffic crash reconstruction, validating the analysis presented in his textbooks. With Nathan Shigemura, he has developed three advanced courses in Crash Reconstruction for IPTM programs. Mr. Daily wrote his first book, “Fundamentals of Traffic Accident Reconstruction”, in 1988. He collaborated with Nate Shigemura on the book “Fundamentals of Applied Physics for Traffic Accident Investigators” in 1997. In 2006, in collaboration with Nate Shigemura and Dr. Jeremy Daily, he wrote his third textbook, “Fundamentals of Traffic Crash Reconstruction”. This textbook is used both as a reference and as a textbook for five IPTM classes, including Vehicle Dynamics, Traffic Crash Reconstruction, Traffic Crash Reconstruction Update, Energy Methods and Damage Analysis, and Applied Physics. In addition, selected problems from the textbook have been used in the mechanical engineering curricula at Purdue University, the University of Tulsa, and the University of Wyoming
