Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigation
«Dan Reilly has created a comprehensive and informative book with Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigations. Reilly has taken the time to not only detail the important steps and pitfalls in law enforcement criminal investigations but, to weave his work and life experience into cautionary lessons and instruction a layperson can understand. As a retired law enforcement professional and instructor in criminal investigations, I found a plethora of text books on this subject but, not one that presents the material with the tradecraft so clearly explained and detailed. In my opinion, Reilly’s book is a well-organized compilation of facts and experience, honed from years of professional public service to citizens from all walks of life – most especially the victims and their friends and families. Law enforcement professionals take pride in establishing integrity and a sense of duty to their work but the most significant and singular thread is their desire to serve the victims. Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigations: Suspect, Subject, Defendant follows that tradition as well.»

«Reilly has fashioned an ambitious text that follows the development, progression, and closure of criminal investigations through the experienced lens of a seasoned specialist in the field.»
Lindsay Nelson, MS, Department of Criminal Justice, California State University, Bakersfield
«Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigation lays the foundation for the untrained investigator. It is a how-to book for the student lacking criminal investigation experience. Reilly covers the main areas needed for an investigation, covering evidence, criminal law, forensic evidence, constitutional law and interviewing techniques. Also emphasizes that criminal investigations is a team effort.»

«As a homicide detective for 18 years, and an adjunct college instructor for 15, I really appreciate this text. I believe the goal of every investigation is only to prove the truth, and I really appreciate the title of this text as well as the content! Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigation is practical, real, and understandable without any trendy filler.»
