Whether it ’ s crash investigations , a newly-introduced commercial vehicle mechanic training program , drug and alcohol testing and NJDOT safety compliance audits for employees of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration , the United States Coast Guard , the Federal Aviation Administration , United States Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Transportation Administration , Atlantic Investigations LLC offers a comprehensive range of services , all with the goal of ensuring that companies and organizations with employees operating commercial vehicles are doing so under the safest possible circumstances .
In addition to Crescenzo , Atlantic Investigations LLC ’ s entire staff consists of professionals with an extensive investigative background and includes several retired members of local law enforcement . Crescenzo said his career as a police officer has given him the necessary tools to build his company and has allowed it to have a solid reputation for the past nine years — and the same can be said for his staff of about 34 .
“ I wouldn ’ t be able to be in business if I didn ’ t have that . I got all my knowledge when I worked for the city and we ’ ve kept our certifications up , and that ’ s what give us the background … I have a great group of guys ; I can ’ t stress that enough . If it weren ’ t for my employees , I wouldn ’ t be where I ’ m at ... My employees are what made me ,” Crescenzo said .
Atlantic Investigations LLC currently consults for 47 trucking companies in New Jersey , and also provides safety and compliance services in Texas , Florida , West Virginia , Pennsylvania , Delaware and Connecticut , making it the most comprehensive private investigation firm in the region , according to Crescenzo .
“ There ’ s nobody on the east coast that does everything that we do … We do everything from start to finish ,” Crescenzo said .
In addition to the many aforementioned USDOT safety and compliance-related services , Atlantic Investigations LLC also provides private armed security at concert venues like BB & T Pavilion in Camden and Festival Pier in Philadelphia ; conducts arson investigations ( an area of focus during Crescenzo ’ s police career ), teaches OSHA inspection and training classes , and performs background checks and medical examinations for various state employees . Crescenzo is also heavily involved with ensuring that noncommercial drivers , especially teenage ones , are allowing for safe driving conditions . As a board member for Operation Safe Driver ( a safety initiative of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance and the FMCSA ), he oversees programs such as “ Teens and Trucks ,” which advocates for passenger vehicle drivers to share the road with commercial vehicles and avoid hazardous driving habits that can cause crashes .
“ You see it every day just driving down the road . I ’ m on the road constantly — everybody is — and everybody is bobbing and weaving in and out , and they don ’ t know it takes two football fields for a tractor trailer to stop ,” Crescenzo said .
As part of “ Teens and Trucks ,” Crescenzo recently started offering safety classes and courses at local schools that put students in the perspective of commercial vehicle drivers , who often cannot see when a passenger vehicle is driving too closely to them .
“ We go to the schools and we teach them . We set scenarios up … We do a classroom portion where we take them out , put them in the trucks , close the door . ‘ Look in the mirror , what do you see ? Nothing ? Well , they can ’ t see you , but the car is right there ,’” Crescenzo said .
Atlantic Investigations LLC also observes commercial vehicle drivers for companies while on the road as part of Operation Safe Driver , during which it has the authority to report and cite them for various safety violations , and can re-train them if necessary .
“ We ’ ll do observations . Now , we ’ ll turn around and write reports and send them back to the company . We issue driver warnings , and what happens is they ’ ll give the driver warning for the company . The driver will get the
