Officer-Involved Shootings and Use of Force: Practical Investigative Techniques (Practical Aspects of Criminal & Forensic Investigations)

Every time an officer discharges his weapon, whether or not anyone is hit, there is an investigation. However, most police agencies have allowed their investigations to evolve and change as each incident occurs, causing public distrust, unnecessary litigation, and great harm to the agency's and officers' reputations. This book shows that consistent protocols for investigation help avoid these needless repercussions. Known as one of the leading experts on use of force and officer-involved shootings, David Hatch provides proven guidelines for the development of use-of-force investigative policies for agencies that address the concerns of the agency, the employee involved, and the community.David E. Hatch is the author of 'Officer-Involved Shootings and Use of Force: Practical Investigative Techniques (Practical Aspects of Criminal & Forensic Investigations)', published 2002 under ISBN 9780849312687 and ISBN 084931268X.
