Aw, come on, use the acronym!

The following comes from the testimony of a state trooper, and my client actually inserted the comment in parens into the rough draft for my proofreading amusement. :)

Q Give us a summary of your expertise in accident reconstruction.

A In addition to the basic training required of all state troopers, I received additional training in reconstruction at the Georgia Police Academy over a period of a year or so back in 2005.

Q Is that what's now called a SCRT unit?

A That's correct.

Q What was it called then?

A (Wonder why they didn't use the acronym for this:) It was the fatal accident reconstruction team.
