Information provided in December 2014 traffic records assessment:
Fatal, Injury and PDO crashes The Commonwealth states that, “All crashes are reportable in the CNMI including fatal crashes”, but does not cite a statute requiring crash reporting. It is not clear if reporting is based on statute or policy.
Non-trafficway crash collection? All crashes are reported and included in the crash reporting system, located through a “built-in mapping” program that includes non-trafficway crashes.
Consolidated State database? The crash system is under development but is designed to be a Commonwealth database. At this time it is being implemented on Saipan with only the Department of Public Safety (DPS) law enforcement officers collecting and submitting crash reports.
Crash custodian? The Department of Public Safety is the custodian of the Commonwealth's crash system.
