Officer-Involved
Shootings and Use of Force: Practical Investigative Techniques.
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. Officer-Involved Shootings and Use
of Force 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, author David Hatch provides guidelines for the
development of use-of-force investigative policies for agencies
that will address the concerns of the agency, the employee
involved, and the community. These standardized procedures
have proven effective for him over the course of 100 cases.
