Farmington New Hampshire Police Department

The Strafford County Regional Accident Reconstruction Team, or SCRAR Team for short, was established in May 2005 after it was determined that there was a need for a specialized team to focus on the investigation and reconstruction of serious motor vehicle collisions. The SCRAR Team is made up of officers, detectives, and deputy sheriffs from the following participating agencies:

Barrington Police, Durham Police, Farmington Police, Rochester Police, Somersworth Police, Strafford County Sheriff’s Department, and the UNH Police Department.

Members of the SCRAR Team will respond to serious motor vehicle collisions involved serious injury or death and will take steps to collect and analyze evidence and reconstruct the events leading to the collision.

To date, the team has five ACTAR (Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstructionists) certified accident reconstructionists. There are currently only eighteen ACTAR certified individuals in the State of New Hampshire.

The SCRAR Team has two members who are currently SAE certified mechanics and one member who has undergone training in the area of vehicle mechanics. These three members perform the post-collision vehicle inspections (autopsies) necessary in many investigations.

The Farmington Police Department has two members of the department on the team.

SCRAR Team’s Message:

“Please, do not drink and drive and slow down!  We do not want your business.”
