In some local police departments in the United States, Fatal Accident Reconstruction Team (F.A.R.T.) is a group of police officers dedicated to investigating motor vehicle accidents resulting in death. This type of investigation may involve vehicles on vehicles, vehicles on fixed objects or vehicles on pedestrians. The investigation of casualty accidents is of special interest, as detectives often do not have eyewitnesses to provide an explanation of the event. Thus the team must rely on forensic evidence, such as used tires, tires (yaw marks) or other signs to help determine what happens in the collision sequence. Accidents with survivors and casualties are also of concern, as the police can not rely on the victim (s) to accurately recount the accident. Survivors are often unconscious, incapacitated, or traumatized so they can not talk to the police. Even if survivors can give statements, their memories may not be perfect, or they may lie to avoid accusations such as car killing or car killing. In general, teams try to determine the exact sequence of events that cause accidents, such as criminal detectives trying to reconstruct crime.
These departments rarely refer to their teams with acronyms, since fart words are often considered vulgar or offensive.
