Abstract:

The sources, magnitude, and characteristics of the inaccuracies in Virginia's police-reported accident data were examined. Five techniques were used to (1) determine how accident data are documented, (2) examine the contents of the accident report used to collect the data, and (3) document problems relating to the accuracy of the data. Recommendations were designed to enhance the overall quality of the data by (1) revising the current accident report and accompanying instruction manual, (2) modifying police training procedures, (3) upgrading the field reviews and editing, procedures for the accident reports, and (4) establishing a process to continually monitor and update the police accident report.
