Finding support » Practical information for the bereaved » Understanding the investigation
While ACPO's Road Death Investigation Manual is understandably aimed at senior police officers, bereaved families also deserve to know what happens during a fatal crash investigation. This information has also been provided in a pack produced by the Ministry of Justice but it is quite brief.
RoadPeace has produced a Road Death Investigation Guide for Bereaved Families, based on the most recent ACPO Road Death Investigation Manual.
Drafts of our guide were sent to several police services, including the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and the Merseyside Police Service. We appreciated their assistance with providing accurate information in a clear and sensitive manner.
But we are continually updating this guide so please do send any comments to us.
