The Tennessee Highway Patrol’s Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) is responsible for assisting other members of the Department in the investigation and reconstruction of motor vehicle traffic crashes, and incident scene documentation. The unit also assists federal, state, and local agencies in motor vehicle traffic crashes investigations and incident scene documentation. The unit is staffed with THP personnel, and all members receive extensive training in traffic crash investigation and incident scene documentation.
The CIRT unit consists of four teams statewide, each covering two of the eight THP districts. A Captain oversees command of the unit, an East Bureau Lieutenant, a West Bureau Lieutenant, and each team has a Sergeant who serves as the Team Supervisor. All the teams are outfitted with advanced tools and equipment to assist them in the investigation of traffic crashes and other incidents.
