AIS Accident Investigation Squad.
CIS Collision Investigation Squad.
'Accident' is out of the modern LE vocabulary because even if there's no intent involved, there's almost always some sort of inattention or negligence in every collision, so to call it an accident would imply an innocence that doesn't exist.

I don't want to sound critical or rude, but who the heck is "they"?
(I do hope you understand that the New York sub-forum is for the entire state!)
Going by his location I am guessing NYPD.

Only a lawyer can come up with reasoning like that. What are they [NYPD] going to call it when a vehicle rolls over into a ditch and collides with nothing? The rollover investigation squad?
Ironically New York State still uses the term 'accident' to describe a collision.
MV104 - Report of Motor Vehicle Accident
MV104AN - Police Accident Report (NYC)
The change from AIS to CIS was to keep people who have no background in accident investigation or police work happy (see Transportation Alternatives). These people seem to think that all drivers are evil and need to be punished and make a federal case out of a simple motor vehicle 'accident'
Or somebody who spends most of their day investigating these things. At least for us in MD, that's a collision with a fixed object... ye olde Earth.

I wouldn't read too much into the terminology. NYSP uses "rollover" to describe every motor vehicle accident, even if the vehicle engaged in no such maneuver. The [mis]use of this term is spreading.
