Missouri State Highway Patrol Major Crash Investigation Unit
In 1997, the Patrol created the Major Crash Investigation Unit. Currently, the Patrol has twelve officers assigned to four Major Crash Investigation Units, located strategically throughout the state. The primary mission of the MCIU is to investigate and provide detailed reporting of serious crashes involving multiple fatalities, commercial motor vehicles and crashes resulting in felony criminal charges. The crash teams also assist other law enforcement agencies with serious traffic crash investigations and critical crime scene mapping. The teams utilize Total Station technology, which allows for the accurate and fair depiction of a crash or critical crime scene diagrammed to scale. Each officer is trained in the human, mechanical and environmental factors of traffic crash investigation. They are considered court experts in the field of traffic crash investigation.

The following officers are assigned to the four Major Crash Investigation Units within the Field Operations Bureau:
