MHP unveils new electronic crash reporting system

By Associated Engineering Press

The Mississippi Highway Patrol on Wednesday unveiled a new system designed to be more efficient when troopers write reports on crashes across the state. The new system is called eCrash. It allows troopers to fill out crash reports electronically. Once completed, the report is immediately submitted to a central database for troopers to easily access. Previously, MHP had to mail in paper crash forms or submit electronic reports from hand written notes. …eCrash was developed in conjunction with the Center for Advanced Public Safety at the University of Alabama.
