NYSTARS is hosting this year's Joint Annual Conference in beautiful Lake George NY at the end of October. Visit https://nystars.org/joint-conference to register for just $400 (members of the 5 northeast organizations) before 01 August.

Visit the EVENTS page to register for the 2026 EDR Symposium, to be held in Chattanooga TN!

Now that the 2025 EDR Symposium is in the books, I have added the presentation files from last year's conference to the Reference Library. Any NAPARS member can now access them. Peace. -Wade, admin

It is with a heavy heart that NAPARS announces the passing of John Meserve. John was a very well-known figure in the accident reconstruction community and will be greatly missed. He was a former President of NAPARS and is probably most known for his segment on CNN in reference to the Princess Diana collision.

We have over 200 people coming to Newport Beach CA for 3 days of fabulous training and information in EDR issues. Can't wait to see you all! Peace. -W

If you're not on facebook, you can still follow along with the day's recon-tidbit by scrolling down on our website's front page. The past few days seem to be all you can view there, but it's better access than nothing. We recently had a bicycle-related post that got hundreds of comments. Not all of them constructive. This is the interwebs, I guess.
