Abstract

The study examines causal factors affecting the competency in forensic evidence analysis for traffic accident investigation in the context of Thai Police. Data were obtained from a total of 400 police investigators from nine provinces under the control of the Provincial Police Region 1 Headquarters. The researcher employed a systematic random sampling technique to select the research participants. The Multiple Regression Analysis was adopted to analyze the data collected from each respondent. This was conducted in sequential order to establish relationships between working time, experiences, knowledge, work support, the achievement and competency in road crash investigation within the study areas. Based on research findings, it has been concluded that knowledge and working time in the Thai Police have made a significant contribution to 65.7 of the competency in road crash investigation.
