TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS Traffic FatalitiesAll fatalities are investigated by a detective in the traffic office. A detective responds to the scene of fatality incidents. They oversee processing of the scene and direct the collection
of evidence. If applicable, the detective determines whether criminal charges will be filed at the time of the incident. If no charges are filed at that time, and there is a question of
whether charges should be filed, the case will be staffed with an
assistant district attorney. The attorney will determine if charges
are to filed or if the case will be presented before a grand jury
for further inquiry. In fatality collisions where the suspect driver dies, no charges will be filed.
