What is the timeframe in which an investigating member must prepare a completed investigation after a crash?

The timeframe for an investigating member to prepare a completed investigation after a crash is fifteen days. This period allows the investigating member adequate time to gather all necessary information, witness statements, and documentation related to the incident. Properly completing the investigation within this timeframe is crucial for ensuring that all relevant details are considered and that the report is thorough and accurate. Adhering to this standard helps maintain accountability and ensures that the findings can be used effectively for further actions or analysis. This fifteen-day timeframe reflects best practices in law enforcement by balancing thoroughness with the need for timely reporting.
