The research was conducted in Sukoharjo Regency, from the research results, the writer found several obstacles that hindered the traffic accident investigation process. These obstacles include, among others, that there are still many personnel who do not pay attention to SOPs in carrying out their duties, such as giving APP by the leadership which is not implemented. The personnel do not know the daily activity plan because of the lack of distribution by the leadership, the implementation of case titles which are rarely carried out, the number of personnel who are less when compared to the situation and conditions of Sukoharjo Regency, and there are still investigators who do not have accident investigator certification. In terms of facilities and infrastructure, there are also obstacles such as the insufficient number of investigator vehicles and the absence of ambulances and cranes. The condition of the community is also an obstacle because there are still many people who do not report traffic accidents immediately. Suggestions from the author are that the Head of Traffic pays more attention to routine activities carried out by personnel and the quality of personnel and must pay more attention to unresolved traffic accident cases to become an evaluation of future traffic accident investigations.
