Traffic Homicide Investigators

The Ocoee Police Department has several Traffic Homicide Investigators. Traffic Homicide Investigators are highly trained in serious crashes that may involve a fatality and some are Traffic Crash R-constructionists. Due to the detailed nature of these investigations they are very labor intensive. These dedicated officers are available on an on-call basis.
