After retirement in 1997, David Hatch has concentrated
on law enforcement related writing and teaching. He is the author of Officer-Involved Shootings and Use of Force:
Practical Investigative Techniques, Second Edition (Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations).
David Hatch’s book, now in its second edition,
“continues to provide sound and sober models, protocols, and procedures to handle the highly charged fall-out from officer
involved shootings. Written by cops for cops, it is designed to address the needs of the agency, the rights of the employee,
and the concerns of the public, and give law enforcement the policies and tools to properly investigate and document this
high profile area.”
Jerry Keller, President of the Major Cities’
Police Chiefs’ Association, can “think of no one else better qualified to write” about investigating officer-involved
shootings and police-related deaths. Lt. Craig Dodd of the Fort Collins Police Department states that his agency practices
many of the philosophies and protocols developed by Hatch over the years. Officer-Involved Shootings and Use of
Force: Practical Investigative Techniques, Second Edition (Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations):
Presents a standardized protocol for consistent investigations of officer-involved shootings; Provides updated case histories
from the author's experience and from high profile current events; Includes the latest findings on excited delirium syndrome;
Offers insightful recommendations for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; and, Features information on the proper handling of
media and public information policy.
