"He estado últimamente utilizando las características en 3D del paquete de VS Investigator en un caso criminal muy importante. Nosotros creamos el modelo de una casa de 3,000 pies cuadrados, al introducir el anteproyecto en la computadora. Yo creo que esta es la primera ocasión en que este tipo de presentación fue admitida por la corte de Florida. Los resultados de esta presentación fueron favorables. Nosotros pudimos llevar al jurado a través de la escena del crimen y discutir aspectos específicos del caso. Su soporte técnico durante la creación de modelo fue de mucha ayuda. Su personal no solo contesto todas nuestras preguntas, nos dieron además varias sugerencias para el proyecto. Nosotros pasamos largos periodos de tiempo en el teléfono intercambiando opiniones sobre aspectos del modelo. Mis clientes están de verdad ampliamente complacidos con el software y con el uso de las herramientas de demostración. Por favor extienda mi agradecimiento a todo su personal por toda la ayuda y paciencia recibida”
Dennis Fahey, Physical Evidence Consultants, Cape Coral, FL
"Hola Mike. Solo para agradecerte de Nuevo por la excelente clase (Sacramento 9/14-17/04), y por el fantástico producto (También estoy más agradecido por permitirme registrarlo en varias computadoras.
En el trabajo, en mi lap top con la cual trabajo, y en casa…esto me es de gran ayuda, ahora adoro trabajar!)
Por favor tienen ustedes mi aprobación para apoyar con mi comentario a Visual Statement. Siendo yo anterior “usuario” de Autosketch (el cual sabia manejar muy bien, pero pronto me di por vencido) Pues encontre que Visual Statement tiene muchas cualidades superiores que estan muy bien pensadas! Voy a utilizar el programa una y otra vez (y otra vez más). No puedo esperar a cargarlo y rehacer varios accidentes anteriores. (Tambien estoy comprando una computadora "hi-horsepower" para mi casa!) Gracias nuevamente , te escribire mas tarde, Kim "
Crash Reconstructionist Kim Morganthaler, Crash investigator, Santa Clara Sheriff's, CA
"Buen Dia Mike espero que te llegue este email y que estes disfrutando del verano. Al estarnos dirigiendo al entrenamiento, (otra rama de VS) Derrick Swiderski nos menciono que tu te asegurarias de que el tenga una copia del ultimo programa para que pueda instalarlo en la sala de computadoras. Sabes si ya realizaron esto?. Tambien Paul Heatherington envio el parche de Leica a Dave Hall para ver como funcionaba. Con los reportes salio todo bien. Si es possible nosotros tambien necesitamos esta actualizacion en nuestro programa. Como te mencione anteriormente aun no hemos podido actualizarlo directamente desde el sitio de Internet. Estoy tratando de rectificar esto con nuestros informaticos pero se lleva tiempo. Como quieres que realicemos esta actualizacion? Una vez mas te agradezco por el producto maravilloso! Desde nuestra posicion en Alberta esto era precisamente lo que estabamos buscando dentro de todos los programas que hay de reconstrucción. Tambien felicitarte por el servicio de tu personal. Por lo que a mi respecta el servicio del personal de soporte es excelente. Muchas Gracias Larry "
Sgt. Larry Bellows, Senior Reconstructionist, RCMP, Edmonton, AB
"La asistencia tecnica ha sido muy Buena. Nunca he tenido que esperar por ayuda y la asistencia ha sido apropiada. Recientement tuve oportunidad de utilizar el programa [VS Investigator Suite] en una simulacion de collision de vehiculos. Los participantes estuvieron impresionados por lo relativamente facil y por la vision realista con la Opcion 3D que VS provee durante la planificación de la presentacion de este evento. Todos nos sentimos verdaderamente impresionados con la Opcion 3D."
Constable Chris Blandford, RCMP, Winnipeg, MB
"He utilizado el paquete de [VS Investigator] de Visual Statement por los pasado dos anios y no he utilizado ningun otro programa que se tan facil de manejar. El producto final es muy profesional.

Su producto en mi opinion es el NUMERO UNO.”
Constable Chris Blandford, RCMP, Winnipeg, MB

Acudi a la clase de entrenamiento en Tupelo, MS y aprendi muchisimo en solo dos dias. La facilidad de utilizar mi Palm Pilot para tomar las medidas y luego descargarlas directamente dentro de la escena, es maravilloso y eficiente en costos para mí. He tenido la oportunidad de mostrarlo a mis clientes con diagramas sobresalientes y exhibirlos utilizando VS Investigator Suite lo cual ha hecho una gran diferencia en el resultado de muchos procedimientos en la corte. He recomendado el programa tambien a muchos profesionales y se que la mayor parte de ellos cambiaron y ahora utilizan sus productos. Gracias por trabajar para mejorar el nivel de servicio ya que yo puedo proveer a mis clientes con sus productos."
Terry R. Cox, Certified Legal Investigator, The Lonewolf Group, Booneville, MS
"Nuestra Agencia ha estado utilizando Visual Statement para el reporte de accidentes desde Julio del 2003. Hemos estado muy complacidos por el fucnionamiento general del software. El programa ha sido muy estable y confiable. Adicionalmente, tengo que comentar que el soporte que hemos recibido ha sido excelente. Por lo general ellos responden en el mismo momento, algunas veces minutos, cualquier vez que hablamos por alguna razon. Todo el personal de VS ha sido muy adaptable y amable cuando nosotros encontramos algun problema (no fueron mas que alguno que otro) o cuando solicitamos un reporte especifico el cual no se guardo en el reporte. Ellos siempre estuvieron dispuestos a darnos la información requerida- llendo mas lejos en su servicio, ellos crearon reportes personalizados de los casos por si nosotros solicitaramos de nuevo la misma información tuviéramos acceso a esta sin necesidad de llamarlos. Sin duda alguna, VS realizo cuaquier /y todos los cambios que requerimos del programa. La presentacion de los reportes impresos, son identicos a las formas de los reportes de Colorado, con todos los espacios para edicion en su lugar en conformidad con los requerimientos del reporte de la declaracion en Colorado, haciendolo mucho más facil y sencillo de usar. Los diagramas para los accidentes son tambien muy faciles de utilizar. Nuestros oficiales estan muy complacidos con el programa y no han tenido ninguna dificultad durante el entrenamiento ni utilizando el sitema. Visual Statement tambien tiene una funcion con la cual los ciudadanos /compa?ias aseguradoras pueden acceder y recuperar reportes directamente desde la Internet. Esto ha sido un gran ahorrador de tiempo para nuestro Departamento de Archivo. Nosotros aun seguimos “recordandoles a algunas de las Compa?ias Aseguradoras, pero para ellos seguimos haciendonos presentes! Esto ciertamente corta con todo esto! Ya que no hay necesidad de acudir por los reportes al Departamento de Archivo!!!. Espero que esta información le ayude a tomar una decisión. Por favor no dude en llamarme o enviarme un email si es que tiene alguna inquietud sobre todo esto."
Pat Oswald, Records Coordinator, Golden Police Department, Golden, CO
"Como Instructor en Investigación de Accidentes, y reconstrucción de colisiones he tenido la oportunidad de utilizar ambos programas CrashZone y Vista FX. Basado en mi experiencia encontre que las características de Vista FX como su base de datos para construir vehiculos, su sitema para integrar las medidas, asi como la aplicacion de la transferencia de datos con laser o con los sistemas para mapas como la Estacion Total, las escenas reales en 3D, y lo facil que resulta utilizarlo, hacen de este producto la mejor eleccion para cualquiera que tome en serio la investigación y reconstrucción de colisiones."
Instructor Bill Mael, ACTAR 42, Rocky Mountain Institute , Denver, CO

Estando yo involucrado como instructor de cursos de la reconstrucción de accidentes por casi dos decadas tuve la oportunidad de estar expuesto a todos los formatos imaginables de CAD o programas disponibles en todo el mundo para hacer Diagramas de Escenas de Colision. Sin duda alguna, la linea de Productos de VS brinda tanto a los usuarios novatos como a los experimentados en programacion CAD, un Paquete sobresaliente de software a un precio razonable para realizar los reportes de accidentes y las tareas de mapas, simples, faciles y más profesionales. He probado su manejo, retado y empujado a los límites el poder de los Paquetes de VS (asi como la animacion 3D y el asistente de Impetu) y estos han sobrepasado los retos sin siquiera quejarse.

Assistant Instructor Terry Blount, Memphis, MI
"Visual Statement es la unica compa?ia que creo exitosamente un reporte electronico de la Colision en el Estado de Washington, ya que paso lo revision de DOL. ReportBeam es extremadamente facil de usar, y el producto final es superior a todo lo que yo pueda dibujar en un diagrama o escribir. La habilidad que tiene de crear un diagrama limpio, claro y repotarlo utilizando los clics del raton en solo unos minutos, elimina los viejos inconvenientes del mal delineado, manchones, correcciones y las formas salpicadas. El casi innecesario soporte del personal de Visual Statement es extremadamente dispuesto, paciente y se localizan en la Zona Tiempo del Pacifico.

Estos tambien expanden las posibilidades y me dan más control sobre mi trabajo. Entonces me senti abrumado con la Animación 3D! Esto de Nuevo fue una herramienta que nosotros dentro del campo de la reconstruccion de accidentes de trafico necesitabamos extremadamente!

El Software puede utilizarse no solo para ilustrar su reconstruccion, sino tambien para refutar otras teorias. El curso de Diagramas de Accidentes de Colision revisa todo desde la interface para completar dibujos/ animaciones complejas.

El compromiso de VS para conocer las necesidades de nosotros los clientes es realmente sorprendente!!"
Sgt. Keith OLIVER, Senior Traffic/Collision Analyst, RCMP "J" Division, NB
"El caso que comparti con ustedes la semana pasada salio bien, la corte acepto mi diagrama de tercera dimension de Visual Statement sin ninguna objecion. Tampoco recibi ninguna critica por parte del abogado oficial de distrito There was not even an objection by the district attorney's office, largely I suspect, due to the earlier conversation I'd had with you which allowed me to explain why the 3-D pickup didn't exactly replicate the extended cab model in my two-dimensional drawing.
This was a felony hearing in our district court, which is the equivalent of a superior court in California. I'm not exactly sure what your Canadian equivalent might be.
Not only was my drawing accepted, but the judge allowed me to reposition the involved vehicles according to other testimony, so that he (the judge) might better envision what other witnesses were saying. After the conclusion of the hearing, the court reporter approached me to compliment the drawing program, particularly the fact that the program enabled me to make such rapid and accurate modifications.
I don't know what problems others have experienced in having their 3-D drawing accepted in court, but, at least in this one circumstance, the court seemed not only accepting, but supportive of the technology. Thanks again."
Dennis Green, WEstern STates Accident Reconstructions, NV
"I recently downloaded and installed your new RealMotion 3D Animation add-on for your already fabulous VS Investigator Suite. WOW!! What else can I say. In my research of all the tools, specifically animation software; for reconstruction, I have never seen anything as amazing or easy as this. The vehicles look and move in real time, complete with consoles, logos, and even stereos in some. The new 3D Smart Tools library with concrete meridians, traffic cones, barrels, chain link fences and more are realistic enough that I think I could convince a jury that the animation was realtime video shot through my cruisers on board camera. Once again, you have outdone yourselves.
I completed my first 2 vehicle, to-scale animation with roll-overs and collision information in less than 15 minutes of installing it, and in the subsequent hour was able to produce two more, one of which was a complex, 3 vehicle collsion complete with damage and victims. I knew it would be worth the wait, and the money.
This is by far the most valuable tool in my reconstructionist tool box, and will prove to be an asset in getting my private reconstruction company up and running. I look forward to being able to offer a service that few can, and at half the cost and in half the time. Thanks again for all of your excellent service and support, I can't wait to see what you come up with next."
Officer Jason Groulx, Flint, MI
"In March of 2003, the Golden Police Department was interested in replacing an accident computer program that officers could use. We started checking with Visual Statement on a reconstruction program [VS Investigator Suite] they had and found they had the state accident program [ReportBeam Traffic Collision Reporting System] too. After working with the company, we decided to purchase the accident programs.Throughout the process the employees of Visual Statement were excellent to work with. They addressed all our needs and corrected several things we wanted changed for the state program quickly and without hesitation.
The product [ReportBeam Traffic Collision Reporting System] was installed and the officers all enjoy the program, and say it is 100% better than the accident report system we had before. We just went live on the program on July 10th 2003, and even that process was completed without problems or issues.
We are really looking forward to getting the programs on line to see the stats we can use in the future to better plan our traffic unit. With all the companies we have dealt with over the years for our computer programs, Visual Statement has been the best in customer service and in working with the customers to obtain the best result from the program that we have dealt with. Good job guys and we look forward to working with you in the future."
Detective C.J. Kloberdance, Golden Police Department, CO
"After having done some animations on real cases I can say the animator [Vista RealMotion 3D] is amazing! I timed myself and animated a complicated post-impact motion for two vehicles in 20 minutes (starting with a drawn diagram and no vehicles on scene yet). That same process in 3D Studio would have taken me about 20 hours."
Craig Luker, Professional Engineer, Forensic Dynamics Inc., BC
"The agency that employs me opted to purchase Visual Statement (2D version) 2 years ago. We handle a multitude of Motor Vehicle Accidents and Major Crime Scenes annually. The version we purchased has been found to be user friendly and works well with our Nikon Total Station. The ease and simplicity of the program, inclusive of the tutorial package makes the program a dream to work with. The on line assistance and initial instruction is presented in a manner that simplifies the learning curve. The support staff is second to none with technical assistance. I highly recommend the program to any agency that is need of a CAD 'system'".
Sgt. L. J. Wood, Oneida County Sheriff's Dept., NY
"I think it's [Vista RealScene 3D] the most exciting thing I've ever seen in a computer-aided drawing program. It might be trite to say that it's added a dimension heretofore not experienced, but trite or not, it's so true. It's also so user-friendly. I loaded the program yesterday and in minutes, and without reading any instructions (I don't ask for directions when driving either), I was able to look at what started as a two-dimensional drawing, in glorious 3-D! I can hardly wait to show some of my clients. I also don't know if I can wait until you animate the program, as I know you will.
As long as I'm telling you how wonderful I think your products are, I also want to tell you how very great it is to deal with your staff. Without exception, from the moment someone answers your telephone, everyone is pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. It always gives my day a boost to speak with someone in your office, not only because I get the information I need, but it's just such a pleasure to speak with someone who cares about me as a customer."
Dennis Green, Accident Reconstructionist, NV
"I wanted to let you know as well as anyone else that might ask, that this is an incredible advancement in accident investigation and diagramming! I spent almost 10 years with Texas Highway Patrol and investigating accidents. I have used everything from tape measures, roller tapes, roller wheels and total stations. I have used autosketch programs and a few others. I even used the VS Accident Investigator and thought it was easier to use than many of the others.
I received the NEW VS Investigator Suite and installed it. WOW !!! In two hours I watched the instructions and diagrammed a major accident scene. I diagrammed a four lane highway with a median, a semi-truck with trailer, a colliding 4 door car, a sliding car hitting a tree, telephone poles, trees, shrubs, a house with circle drive, header information, road signs, scale bar, true north symbol, and highway descriptions. This also included skid marks, slide marks, and yaw marks for various vehicles involved. It amazed me how I was able to switch from portrait to landscape by click of a button. Then I selected the print option that let me select a specific area of the diagram to print!! This does NOT even scratch the surface of this program's ability. ALL within 2 hours of installation!!!!!!. This could save individuals and departments as much as 2 to 6 hours depending upon the degree of an accident. I will be happy to talk to anyone about this program. Please let me know what I can do to help. Congratulations on your triumph!!"
Miles Tollison
"The officers in my department complained that they never knew what to ask of the victims and witnesses of collisions. With Interview Pro, I generate a list of questions for officers to take with them."
Sgt. Richard Carroll, Medford PD, MA -- former Visio 2000 user
"After using several CAD programs, it was refreshing to use the VS Investigator program. The ease of use and the time saved producing crash scene drawings has allowed our traffic services unit to operate more effectively."
Deputy Brian Angerer, Monroe, MI
"I am writing in regards to the “VS Accident Investigator” computer software that my police agency recently purchased. This software has impressed me to the point that I wanted to thank you personally for bringing it to our attention. As an accident reconstructionist and supervisor of the Traffic Enforcement Unit of the Ithaca, New York Police Department, my duties include the investigation of serious personal injury and fatal motor vehicle accidents. Prior to obtaining the “VS” software, I was inclined to “hand draw” my accident diagrams. Rather than endure the frustration of the drafting packages that we had used in the past.
I am pleased to say, without any formal instruction or need for constant referral to a manual, I have been able to jump onto the computer and complete “scale” accident diagrams without difficulty or frustration. The fact that his software includes a calculation package, interview/statement package and more is a great bonus! The interview/statement feature of the package offered questions that I would not have thought to ask. It makes for a neat and professional tool to any accident investigation. Words can not do this software justice. Until someone has suffered and struggled with other accident reconstruction CAD packages, they will never fully appreciate the ease and versatility of your product. One again, thank you kindly for your support, and I look forward to reviewing any other accident investigation products that your company is marketing. Keep up the good work!"
Sgt. John Curatolo, Ithaca Police Department, NY
"Being a professional accident investigator, I need a tool that is user friendly, and has little or no training time. I have tried Mapscenes, Crashzone, and other CAD programs. As far as I’m concerned you need a university degree to operate these programs! The VS Investigator program is incredibly user-friendly. Without a doubt, there is no other product on the market that could match your program's output or ease of use."
Sgt. James Reid, West Point, NY
"I am very happy with the VS Investigator software, I find it very easy to use and am more than satisfied with all the dealings that I have had with the staff at Visual Statement. I have spoken to numerous colleagues and have highly recommended your software."
Sergeant Steven Morse, Windsor Police Department, Windsor, VT
"I have been using Visual Statement Investigator software exclusively in my reconstruction business and am most pleased with it's user friendly system. The tutorials helped me get up and running within a day of self training. The technical support was unmatched. They called me and walked me through any problems I had. A most impressive system."
Steve Kukuruza, ACTAR #1208, Accident Reconstruction Consultant, Coeur d'Alene, ID
"I wish to thank you again for the assistance in teaching/instructing me on the advantages of this product. As I advised you on the telephone, I have become proficient in the use of VS Investigator in a very short time. Hopefully, when my clients see the improved quality of my work, additional assignments will come my way. Thanks again."
Knox J. Owsley, K. J. Owsley Investigations, PA
"It has been my pleasure to incorporate the Visual Statement program in the diagramming of the collisions that our unit investigates. I found the program to be very easy to learn. The work product is very professional looking. When the diagrams have been used in court presentations I have received numerous comments from judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys on the quality of the diagrams. I discovered that the program made it very easy to move objects around on the diagram so that reconstruction became much easier and more accurate. I found the support staff to be efficient, friendly and available. I would recommend this product to anyone who works in the accident investigation business."
Detective Scott M. Gamble, Tucson Police Department, Tucson, AZ
"Since receiving the VS Investigator from your company I have "diagrammed" a total of nine scenes. Some of these I have used with AutoScene and some I have used drawing my own scenes. I have found both methods to be easy to use to accomplish the task at hand. This coming from a person who is admittedly an amateur when it comes to computers. All of my scenes have come out looking very professional and has garnered the attention of my superiors.
The few times I have found it necessary to contact Visual Statement for technical advice I have been nothing short of impressed with the way you people took care of my needs. Beginning with the lady who first answers the phone to Larry Grant and Mike Kennedy. Although I know better, each of these individuals made me feel like I was their only customer for the moment and nothing else mattered other than my problem. They would not quit until they were certain I was satisfied. I am appreciative of the personalized service I have received from each of them. This world would be a better place if every business treated their customers with such dignity and respect."
Dennis Price
"I want you to know this is, without a doubt, the easiest to use program I have ever seen. I was able to draw a basic intersection complete with various add-ons the first day I opened it, without any training and practically without reading the instructions. It has saved me countless hours of drawing on a drafting table. I was recently able to create a crime scene diagram for an attorney. The diagram was not part of the agreement but it was so easy and so much fun to do I decided to throw it in with the report. He was so impressed with the quality he asked me to handle a reconstruction case for him. I can't thank you enough for having created this program. Believe me, I will tell everyone I run into about your product."
Ron De Laby, Paladin Security Group, Cummings, GA
"I wanted to let you and the folks at HQ know how happy I am with your product. We, as you know, purchased the VS Enterprise package earlier this year. I found that I was able to immediately use your package with no formal training what so ever. I don’t mean just fumble around in it…I mean complete diagrams. We also hosted a school here, again, as you know and I learned how to perform functions much more advanced (and easier) than I would have thought possible for me with my limited collision diagramming experience. You were able to teach us how to shoot a scene with a total station, download the data, and create a court ready professional diagram.
I put this training to use on November 23rd, 2001 when a pedestrian was struck by a transit bus. My partner and I responded to the scene and after sizing up the situation began to gather data with the total station. I might add that this was our first real case using the total station. We shot between 65-80 points. The data collection took approximately 1 hour, give or take 15 minutes due to my partners interruptions. I downloaded the data just the way you showed us and had an Autodraw file in less than 2 minutes. I then produced a basic scene in less than 5 minutes and had a complete final drawing in 20 minutes. There is no way I could have produced a diagram anywhere near this quality by hand or in the short period of time I was able to complete this one. Your product is just amazing and actually fun to use! I have enclosed the files from this diagram. Check it out! Thanks for all your help and guidance."
Derek Barr, Traffic Officer, Ithaca City Police Dept., NY
"After reviewing the VS Hawkeye program, I have found it to be extremely user friendly and an asset to the VS Investigator Suite Program. There has always been a need for a program that would allow officers on the street to measure items from photographs. In the 19 years working as a street officer I have encountered many occasions where I could have used this program. When you are working an accident scene or any crime scene, you strive to ensure that all evidence and measurements are collected properly. Even when you think that you have measured everything, you find that there is always something that you have missed. As an accident reconstructionist, you receive pictures many times, 1-6 months later, where you need to obtain measurements that should have been taken at the scene.
The VS Hawkeye is a blessing and allows the investigator to make good sound determinations of speed and distances. This allows the difference between winning and losing a case. If you have not tried this program then you are behind the times. In police work this program is only limited to the investigators imagination or ability to operate it. On a scale of one to five I will have to give it a five star rating."
Sgt. Daniel Ramsey, Accident Recontructionist, Taylor Police Department, TX
"... a computerized drawing program was necessary. I began searching for one by calling various RCMP traffic sections and other police forces. A few programs were mentioned but the one that was given the highest recommendation was your product. I called your business and spoke to Mr. Mike Kennedy and he set up a computer link where the product was demonstrated to my satisfaction. His other selling point was the service he said he would provide, free of charge for technical assistance. No answering machine, no voice mail: What a concept!!! I would have no trouble recommending this product to anyone in law enforcement or otherwise. My drawings now look more professional for court presentation and that only adds to the credibility of my testimony as a witness. Thank you and keep up the good customer service."
Cpl. Paul Gagnon NCO i/c RCMP "G" Division South District Forensic Identification Section, Hay River, NT
"Having been introduced to Auto cad and Autosketch, I was searching for a product that was easier to use, plus less time consuming on the learning curve. When I first saw Visual Statement I was impressed with the short learning curve, ease of use and support offered by the product vendors. To me, a must for collision investigators. Works with Total Station Too!"
Constable Ernie Reckling, RCMP Holyrood,, NL
"VS Investigator is simple to use, and is a great time saver."
Ron Falkenham, Halifax Regional Police, NS
"VS Accident Investigator has become a very valuable tool for the Prattville Police Department. We have cut down on time for officers doing accident diagrams, we take and download measurements from our data collector and within minutes we have a finished product. VS Accident Investigator is easy to learn and use during all stages."
Lt. Dale Varbrough, Prattville Police Department, AL
"Having been an adjuster for 30 years, this is the easiest way to show the accident location and how it could have occurred. Add ins, auto, buses, trucks, and structures add to the overall look. I print mine on a color printer and it adds to the final presentation."
Terry O’Donnell, Action Appraisal Service, AZ
"This is the best program out on the market today. Since I have become an accident reconstructionist , I have used many different programs, none of them can even touch VS Investigator Suite. It is the most detailed, user - friendly program out there. I would never consider using any other program. I take pride in my investigation and final product of my accidents and Visual Statement takes the same attitude when developing software products. Thanks for the excellent program!"
Keith Whitmire, Somerton Police Department, AZ
"VS Investigator Suite makes complicated – SIMPLE! Easy to use, great results. It looks like you spend hours, but only takes minutes to get a great looking, scale diagram."
Robert Evans, Los Angeles County Sheriff, Lost Hills Station, CA
"I have never written a testimonial before but I think your product deserves one. I was with the California Highway Patrol for 10 years, Bakersfield Police Department for 8.5 years and I have been a Private Investigator for 6 years. I was from the old school and did everything by hand. I did not think I could ever do a computer program and complete diagrams so quickly. I found out about your program and did a demo version of your VS investigator. I was very impressed and ordered one.
I could not believe how quick I was able to learn the program and turn out professional diagrams. Your staff was excellent in assisting me and explaining the proper way to use the program and made sure I understood before they hung the phone up. I have upgraded to the VISTA program and it is super easy to operate. Since I have started using your system my business has grown and getting to the point where I will have to increase my staff. Thank you very much."
Carl W. Smith, C.W. Smith Investigations, CA
"The officers utilizing your traffic reconstruction software cannot believe how user friendly it is. They have found that the use of the palm pilots in the field have significantly reduced their time on scene. Getting started with the program was fairly simple, although questions did come up from time to time. Questions were addressed with your technicians over the phone and quickly answered. Your product has exceeded our expectations."
Lt. Harry Bishop, Shasta County Sheriff, CA
"I currently have three CAD programs at my disposal. I use Visual Statement because it’s the easiest and most professional program that I have used. Since I purchased the VS Investigator Suite, I have stopped using other speed analyst programs. I really enjoy using the visual analyst module for calculating speed. I can’t say enough about your product. I’m bursting with anticipation for the release of Vista Animation."
Cpl. Dan Rutherford, Pueblo Police Department, CO
"This software does anything you need to be done and it does not take long to do it. I do not have to look at anymore sloppy drawings with this software. The support is great. Help is only a phone call away."
Sgt. Dallas Reynolds, Camden Police Department, DE
"Vista 2D was the fist CAD program I purchased in the 12.5 years I have been in business. I purchased it as a result of your advertising that told me what your program could do. It seemed too good to be true. I purchased the program and liked it immediately because of its ease of use and your great customer support. I have not had to call for assistance very often but when I had to, your staff was very courteous and willing to help me solve the problem I had at hand. I resisted purchasing a CAD program all of the aforementioned years I have been in business because when discussing other CAD programs with other accident reconstructionists, there just did not seem to be a program out there that was reasonably priced, would do what was required without a lot of features that were not needed. Your program fit my requirements and expectations."
William H. Sherkey, Sherkey and Associates Inc., DE
"Very simple, easy to demonstrate and train officers."
Officer Tamara L. Neale, Avon Park Police Department, FL
"I was creating an intersection accident diagram within 15-20 minutes of the loading the CD without reading the instructions. This is undoubtedly the easiest and most comprehensive program I’ve ever come across. The staff couldn’t be friendlier or more accommodating. I will do all my business with Visual Statement. There simply isn’t anyone better."
Ron De Laby, Paladin Security Group, Cummings, GA
"I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you I am absolutely delighted with the Visual Statement software program. I’ve looked at and tried a number of CAD type programs over the years and have always felt they were too cumbersome to work with. Some of them even required specialized training to learn how to use them. I was not interested in spending that kind of additional money or time to learn a software program.
When I discovered Visual Statement it promised I would be up and running the same day. Well, let me tell you I was up and running in 15 minutes. I barely glanced at the instructions and just wanted to play with building streets and intersections. I became proficient at it in almost no time and THEN went back to read the directions. It was great fun. Since then I used it in a criminal case of malicious damage to property and trespassing. I thought I’d try it out just to give the attorney a better idea of what the crime scene looked like. He was so pleased with the diagram he asked me to handle a reconstruction case for him. We are going to trial next week and I was able to create such a detailed diagram it will leave nothing to the jury’s imagination. We took the diagram and had it blown up to 2X3 feet and it looks even better in full life size. I am totally sold on this program and use it every chance I get. It absolutely paid for itself with my first case."
Ron De Laby, Paladin Security Group, Cummings, GA
"I have been greatly impressed with this program. The vehicle database and damage profiles are some of the things that set this program above and beyond other drawing programs. The extremely friendly and responsive staff at Visual Statement is another great advantage. I heartily endorse VS Products as the best for use in the accident reconstruction field."
Mr. Steven D.Kukuruza, Accident Reconstruction Consultants of North Idaho, ID
"First of all I want to thank you for your very professional program. I have received many compliments on the performance of my accident investigations thanks to Visual Statement. It takes me about 2 hours to map a scene to scale from collecting my measurements, importing from my total station, to completing my scene. Whenever I have a problem I make contact with support immediately. Your program is very easy to understand."
Officer Chris Willets, Winthrop Harbor Police, IL
"With your staff support, I have been able to construct a map of the scene of the accident which involved a fatality and used for the preparation of my client’s legal counsel. I was also able to prepare in advance the questions necessary for this particular ‘on the scene witness’ to this fatality. This particular loss was sent to our client in a very professional manner for their viewing and file, thanks to the VS Investigator program."
Lee C. Allbee, RPA, Frontier Adjusters, Downers Grove, IL
"The software is incredibly easy to set-up and use. It is nice for baseline measurements, as well as, downloaded .dxf files. Good versatile program. Can’t wait to use 3D program."
Investigator Tony Pekich, Aurora Police Department, IL
"Your VS Investigator software has increased our professionalism. Nothing better to get the most out of your investigation, than the use of a quality computer generated diagram… Great Job."
John P. Feichter, M.M. Johnson Claims Service Inc., IN
"I was doing all diagramming by hand which took a tremendous amount of time and never looked professional. VSI has changed all of that. I can now produce court ready document sin much less time."
Officer Scott Kirby, Noblesville Police Department, IN
"The tools included in the Visual Statement software have made my job a traffic crash investigator much easier. They also help my end reports to look as professional as they should."
William G. Kraus, South Bend Police Department, IN
"I have been using your accident reconstruction software for almost 2 years now and I wanted to let you know that what I enjoy most about your product is the ease of use and quality of the output for what seems like a minimal effort expended. I have been involved in accident reconstruction since 1983 for three different private firms and currently for the Henry Country Sheriffs Department and have done in excess of 230 serious to fatal accidents during that time. I have tinkered with or attempted to use several programs during that time and rejected shelved them all for one reason or another. The main problem was my limited time to “learn” a new system and the seeming complexity of most programs offered.
I purchased a copy of your program to see if it was any different full well expecting it to end up collecting dust with the others very shortly but have been very pleasantly surprised with the early results. While not yet learning all of the functions I have found that you can use as much or as little of the program as you need and still put out a great looking scene drawing. I also want you to know that your interest in hearing from owners of the program and implementing changes and additions have encouraged me to use the program more and pull from my experience to make suggestions. You have a good product now and the new additions coming up only make it better. I am looking forward to the training classes soon and think what I learn will only make using the program even more rewarding."
Eugene B. Keith, Industrial Loss Consulting Inc., IN
"I have been in law enforcement for over 5 years and understand the necessity of quality equipment. I recognize the HawkEye software as just such equipment. The program is user friendly, but has the capabilities of total reconstruction (Crash/Crime/Fire/Water). I have tried several different crash programs, but find HawkEye best suitable for my needs. I recommend this program to patrol units and reconstructionists of all professions."
Trooper McFarrin, Indiana State Police, IN
"VS Investigator is the best diagram program we have tried and easy to use!"
Osage City Police Department, KS
"I have been using the product for over a year now, and I am very satisfied with the end results. It is truly user friendly, and in just minutes you’ll be up to speed in being able to use its many features, the tech support provided is exceptional These folks go the ‘extra mile’."
Jesse Cummins, St. Mathews Police Department, KY
"Our department recently purchased a copy of the VS Accident Investigator from your company. In the past, our officers were required to diagram an accident scene by hand. The results differed by officer but were usually non-professional looking diagrams drawn on a piece of paper, with white out covering the mistakes. Since our purchase of your software, the quality of the diagramming has increased dramatically. Officers now present collision scene diagrams formatted alike and extremely professional in appearance. Court presentations are now more professional. After the officers became familiar with the operation of the software, the time required to complete a professional looking, computer-generated diagram was easily cut in half. Officers received only 2 hours of instruction for the use of the software and were ready to begin their diagramming. Many of our officers are very unfamiliar with the use of a computer but found it simple to use the VS Accident Investigator software.
We were so impressed with the quality of the software that we have ordered the up-grade and are looking forward to its arrival. On behalf of the administration and officers of the Pikeville Police Department, I wish to thank you for introducing us to your software and we look forward to dealing with your company in the future."
Sgt. Richard Harris, Pikeville Police Department, KY
"I have tried to “teach myself” how to use CAD programs for years, probably twenty years. After buying your VS Accident Investigator Suite I successfully turned out a drawing I could feel good about, the first time. Many associates use more sophisticated software. However, their drawings are no more impressive than mine and More than one has complained to me of the limitations of their drawing programs. And, with VSAI, I can develop good statement/interview outlines. I especially like the fact that your drawing program allows manual entry of right-angle, coordinate, or grid measurements from which it will execute a drawing. I have used the other Suite features less frequently. Yet, since buying the software, I have done drawings in many cases that would ordinarily not justify the amount of time or expense with another CAD system."
Richard L. Fox, Acadian Research and Reconstruction, LA
"I love the ability to quickly put a diagram together. With Visio I could only do the diagramming, 90% of all my work now is done with VS Investigator Suite. The Vehicle Specifications Database and Interview Pro make the life of this one-man accident reconstruction team much easier". "The officers in my department complained that they never knew what to ask of the victims and witnesses of collisions. With Interview Pro, I generate a list of questions for officers to take with them."
Sgt. Richard Carroll, Medford PD, MA -- former Visio 2000 user
"I am very pleased with the VS Investigator software as it is user friendly. Very little training is required compared to the other CAD programs on the market. I was impressed with the technical support group on hand to assist with any problem. The program took a short time to get acquainted with from a person that has little experience in Accident Reconstruction. Too many awesome features to list. Keep up the Good work."
Investigator Jim Kellett, Carrollton TWP Police, MI
"This was the easiest drawing program that I have ever used. In one day, I was able to learn the program and complete a drawing. The onscreen help is really that, help that shows you how to accomplish a drawing action. I especially like the ability to do it post collision appearance."
William E. Elkin, Elkin Consulting, MN
"As an independent investigator working alone on a rural road, or a busy street, the ability to record the measurements with the Palm AutoScene quickly and safely is very important to me. Just as important is the ability to download the data to the Visual Statement software and produce a professional drawing. I have used the Auto Sketch program for years and was reluctant to give it up at first. After using VS Accident Investigator and now the Visual Investigator Suite I wonder why I gave it a second thought. The ease of use of the VS Investigator Suite is remarkable, but the final product is the bottom line for independent investigators who must satisfy their clients with an accurate and polished drawing to present in court. VS Investigator Suite cannot be beat."
Danny Horton, Horton’s Investigative Services, MS
"Since my initial purchase of VS Investigator Suite, I have daily been impressed with the fact that the person using it doesn’t have to spend twice as much time understanding the programs as s/he spends on the actual crash investigation. Having spent 32 years with the Mississippi Highway Patrol, I would recommend this software for law enforcement officers a tool that expedites the investigation without sacrificing quality. A complete tool that does not require the purchase of additional programs. The support you receive from VSI is very personal and more like dealing with family than with a business."
Mr. Donald Rawson, Artec, MS
"We at the Excelsior Springs Police Department have put good use to this software [Vista]. We use it to make a professional diagram on almost every accident we work. The ability to save pre-drawn diagrams and then simply insert the vehicles is very important to our department. The newest version of Vista is a very user-friendly and easy to learn. The Vista diagram is now the standard for our department."
Sgt. Clinton Reno, Excelsior Springs Police Department, MO
"I have used the VS program several times while investigating major accident cases. The departments I consulted for were very impressed with the final product to say the least, so was I. I have found this to be the easiest to use and understand. With the improvements and upgrades it can only get better."
James R. Reid III, AccRecon Inc., MT
"The best part of this system [VS Investigator] is the customer support. All persons I have dealt with have been very personable and willing to assist. The company seems to always attempt to improve the product in response to customer requests."
Warren Schiffer, Rocky Mountain Investigations, Great Falls, MT
"In the almost two years that I’ve been using VS Accident Investigator for my accident diagrams, I’ve noticed a significant increase in the quality of my diagrams. Not being of an artistic bent by nature, I’ve always had a difficult time with diagrams; they’ve always looked just like what they were – something thrown together by someone who really hated doing diagrams. With the VS Accident Investigator I won’t say that I’ve learned to love diagramming, but it’s no longer to be despised; in fact, I can now complete a diagram of which I’m proud in one-third the time it took me to produce a barely acceptable product."
Dennis Green, Westar, NV
"Our clients have made comments on our accident scene diagrams. We have been very happy with the program and look forward to the updated versions."
Mr. Dennis McCabe, Cardinal Investigations Inc., NJ
"The VS Software has proved to be an effective way to “professionalize” our MV Reports. They look sharp and concise. The easy to use software becomes easier the more you use it."
Lt. Art Drexler, Barnegat Police, NJ
"The New Mexico State Police has recently purchased software for each district throughout the state. The software allows us to produce a report that reflects the professionalism expected of our officers and reduced the time required to produce the reports. Visual Statement makes an outstanding product."
Lt. Steve Culberth, New Mexico State Police, NM
"As a retired state trooper, I wish this program had been available to me years ago. The software is and “gets directly to the point.” Now, as a private consultant, I have used the package not only for vehicle incident reconstruction but also involving crime scene and potential industrial/construction incidents. I look forward to the continuing software updates and excellent tech support."
Eric Dale, Incident Construction and Development, NY
"The suite of programs offered in the VS Investigator package assists the officer in completing not only a diagram of the scene but also to complete detailed statements, all at the scene. The vehicle database is an invaluable tool in that provides the needed data for amore detailed analysis of the crash as it relates to a specific vehicle. I have reviewed your demo program several times over the past couple years. During this time I have been unable to get the approval of purchasing the software because of budget issues. Recently we were in our annual insurance renewal process and the issue of your software and its capabilities came up. After explaining again the benefit I felt we would have by using your software, I was given the “OK” to buy it Less than 2 weeks later we were involved in a head-on collision. I was able to draw several detailed scenes of the accident showing the progression of events and furnish them to our insurance company, along with a detailed post accident interview with our driver. Needless to say, I believe by having this accident documented more professionally than ever before, we have a very good defense being built should a lawsuit result."
Dennis Plucinik, L J Kennedy Trucking, NY
"This is an excellent accident diagramming program!"
John F. Matula, Executive Claims Service, NY
"It’s easy to create diagrams quickly, and have them be easily understood. Your databases seem to cover all vehicles I run across. Everything about your program exceeds all expectations. Without a doubt, your company is setting the standard for collision diagrams. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next."
Officer Chuck Collier, Dublin PD, OH
"This letter is to let you know that I am very impressed with the Collision and Crime Scene Diagramming program that my officers are using. I had two officers review the program and then sent them to your school. After attending the school they were eager to start using the program. In a short time they started teaching other officers. In the beginning I was somewhat concerned if the other officers would use the program, especially if they did not have a lot of computer experience. I was pleasantly surprised. In a short period of time most of the officers were using the program and were very comfortable with the process. The finished product is very impressive and professional looking. + vbCrLf++ vbCrLf+Visual Statement Inc. is to be commended for this product. Your company has been very helpful during the process of implementation and any time we have called with a question your response is immediate. Again, congratulations on the product and I would recommend it for any agency that does diagrams, be it crash scenes or crime scenes."
Sheriff Ronny J. Shawber, Crawford County Sheriff's Office, OH
"I would like to extend my congratulations to you on your Collision and Crime Scene Diagramming Program. This program makes each and every diagram look uniform and professional and most importantly its “user friendly”. When we first started looking into the program, I must admit, I was skeptical. I didn’t know how everyone would react to drawing his or her crash/crime scenes on the computer. Especially the officers with little or no computer experience. After attending one of your training sessions and using the program myself, I found out very quickly this would not be a problem.
Your program is very well thought out, with everything being very accessible. You have made the program very easy to teach and use, with the end result being a professional looking, scale diagram each and every time. Congratulations again, this is one tool that makes an everyday task a lot easier to handle."
Deputy Jeremy S. Piper, Crawford County Sheriff's Office, OH
"I would like to let you know that I am very pleased with your Collision and Crime Scene Diagramming program. I did attend on of your classes for the program and have been using it at our office since then. I have found that this program makes diagrams from crash scenes look very professional. Each officer has their own way of drawing scenes and if you were not familiar with that style, things get confusing at times. With the use of your program, this problem does not exist. Every officer using the program will be able to pick up my diagrams and quickly tell what the diagram is. I have also found that this program is very easy to learn and have taught several officers how to use the program. Since most of the tools for the program can be located in two or three different locations, new users have found it easy to learn. This is even true for new users that have little or no experience with computers. My congratulations go out to you for a well thought out program."
Lieutenant Scott M. Kent, Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, OH
"We are very satisfied with Visual Software [VS Investigator]. It is easier to use than our old cad program and very easy to teach to new users. The crime scene features are also useful."
Alan Legath, Easton Police Department, PA
"Since purchasing the software I’ve been using it non-stop. I’ve found the diagrams to be precise enough to get the center of mass radius of a yawing vehicle for speed analysis that equals the actual measurements, and the completed diagrams plus the formula reports are excellent for courtroom presentation. The versatility of the programs in conjunction with on-line tutorial and incredible customer service make the package better than any on the market."
Officer Rodney J. King, Penn Township Police Department, PA
"We use this software for all of the more serious accidents that occur in our city, including fatalities, which makes our officers look very professional when the paperwork is presented to the various insurance companies, attorney’s offices and courts."
Mr. Thomas Jones, North Myrtle Beach Police Department, SC
"I have used this software in many accident investigations and I highly recommend it. The software is easy to use, easy to install and clear in output. I have investigated many software programs and used to work accident investigations, and I can easily say that your program is the best of its type. I took it out of the box, installed it and was working with ease within minutes. I would recommend this software to any accident investigator or any officer who works crash reports and wishes to present a professional report."
Chief Glenn T. Summers, Decherd Police Department, TN
"The Nashville Airport Police Department recently purchased VS Investigator Suite. Your software is way ahead of the other diagramming programs that I have purchased. I was using Auto Sketch, Release 7. Your program is capable of doing just about everything Auto Sketch can, but is much more user friendly. Of course the easier the program is to use, the less time it takes to draw a professional looking sketch. This makes the administration and the officers happy! Your program is not intimidating! In fact, over 95% of our officers, that use your program, have taught themselves. We have even received compliments from an insurance company that received a traffic crash diagram, drawn with your software, on what an excellent diagram they received for their use. They even stated that they were not used to receiving diagrams that looked so professional. An officer who had taught himself drew that particular diagram and it was his first drawing!
Thank you for making our job easier and for helping us to be the professionals that each of us strive to become."
Sgt. David J. Frensley, Sr., Nashville Airport Police, TN
"I purchased the software in February 2002 and within minutes I was making great looking diagrams. The program has excellent help files and tutorials that are easy to follow. I especially like the Autodraw feature. Once the measurements are placed in the measurement log, the program draws for you and saves lots of time. This is great!!! The Interview Pro cuts down the time to write questions and prints out in a very clear concise manner. Now when I turn in interviews for my clients, it is in easy to read format and all topics are together. The math works looks great when it is printed and added to my reports. I have called the customer help when I had questions and was greeted by nice, friendly and knowledgeable people. I had a glitch in my program and once notified a replacement program was delivered to me within days. I cannot say enough about the Visual Statement Company and have recommended them to my friends and coworkers. The Palm Software is great and easy to use."
Dale Farmer, Farmer Collision Analysis, TN
"I researched software for over two years for my department. Just prior to placing an order with another company, I discovered your software and ordered a trial version. It was great. I was able to present demo diagrams and illustrations which in turn won over my department heads. I contacted Visual Statement and talked to Michelle. She was also a great asset to my decision in purchasing the software. Visual Statement was almost $500 over any other software that I had found, however no other compared with its capabilities. The decision was easy… When we received the VSI disk, we had a problem with our computer system and couldn’t get things to work just right. We contacted technical support and even though it wasn’t a problem with the software itself, we were talked right through the problem and were soon up and running. I used the Palm M100 with my first crash investigation there after and it as well was wonderful. The ease and accuracy this afforded me has made my job much easier. I can now devote more time to other areas of the investigation and not have to hassle over the diagram itself.
Overall I give Visual Statement, the software, technical support, and sales an A+. I have had a great experience with the company from start to present and expect our relationship to last as I’m looking forward to any future updates and releases."
Patrolman Mike Crum, Greeneville Police Department, TN
"A picture is worth a thousand words – and to do it quickly, sometimes from the field, makes VS Software very good. Quickly, efficiently, accurately adds to preparing a great report that is understood by all."
Don Shawver, Shawver and Associates, TX
"I was amazed at how fast I leaned to use this software, I thought I would have to set aside many hours, but only took me 1.5 hours to get the finished product that normally took me a lot longer to do manually. I could save all my diagram work on disc instead of cluttering up my filing cabinet with paper. I’m glad I purchased this time saving program."
Charles Walker, El Paso, TX
"The Millard Country Sheriff office started to use this program the first part of this year. The program is very friendly to us and has cut down the officers' time with crime scene and accident diagramming. I would recommend the program and Visual Statement; for all Law Enforcement to use."
Sgt. Scott Corry, Millard County Sheriff’s Office, UT
"I would like to thank you and your staff at Visual Statement again for your continued help and support. I have never dealt with a company like Visual Statement before and everyone there that I have spoken to demonstrates a genuine interest in regards to any problem or question that I might have. The class that I attended in Purchase, NY that was instructed by Paul Van Vorce was excellent. It more than met my needs. Mr. Van Vorce is just another example of your more than competent staff. I can not really say enough good things about the program itself. I have used it to diagram accidents, crime scenes and to lay out the offices in our new station. Not only is the program easy to use, it is a great time saver, which my Chief appreciates as that has a direct effect on the department's budget."
Sgt. Steven D. Morse, Windsor Police Department, VT
"I recently attended your class for the Visual Statement Collision and Crime Scene Diagramming in Kent, Washington. As the Lead Accident Investigator for our department, I was asked to evaluate this program for possible purchase. After learning the basics of the program, I recommended that our department purchase the VS Investigator Suite Law Enforcement Edition. I have been using the program for a few weeks now, and am very pleased with the results. The time that it now takes me to complete an accident drawing is cut in half. As I learn more of the features of the program, I continue to reduce that time.
One of the things that impresses me the most about this program, is that it also acts as a teaching guide. As you probably know, in some smaller agencies, the funds are not always available for some advanced training. In my case, I did not have as much Accident Training as others in my class. I found that by using this program, it taught me techniques to actually improve my skills. It also showed me some of the small common areas that I needed to do to complete a real comprehensive accident report. I now incorporate these into my investigations. The Detectives are also impressed. I am now getting called out to assist them in recording serous crimes scenes for use on this program. After recreating an old homicide scene, I had them sold on the software. Thank you for the product, and the quick response to all e-mails I have sent. The prompt response show me that the company continues to “sell” this program after it is bought. I will recommend this product to anyone that asks."
Sgt. Bill Russell, Oak Harbor Police Department, WA
"I have searched for some time to find an easy to use accurate drawing CAD. This [VS Investigator Suite] is it. I did a drawing and it took 1 hour to learn the basics. I needed CAD so I could teach my team in a short time."
