Sergeant Matt Russell, a 25-year veteran of law enforcement who began his career with the Phoenix, Arizona police department before transferring to Moline in 2006 has been the Supervisor of the Traffic Investigations Division since 2019.
Today you will hear about the detailed work it takes to put back together a crash scene.
