Robert Annan is a retired police officer, having served 38 years between the Toronto Police Service and the Durham Regional Police Service.
During his career Robert became the first collision Reconstructionist (an officer who investigates motor vehicle fatalities or collisions that may turn into a fatality) in the Regional Municipality of Durham.
He is actively involved in the community and across the province, spreading the word about collisions and how to prevent them and has been doing so since 1993. Both he and his business partner, John Hinds (also a Collision Reconstructionist), formed Accident Awareness Inc., and since the inception date of 1993, have spoken to well over a million students, thousands of seniors and countless company employees. Their "Not for profit" company has never charged a high school or a senior centre for the presentations given.
