The purpose of this book is to guide the new criminal investigator who is about to enter the highly-regulated and complex field of criminal environmental investigation. This type of criminal investigation has a "steep learning curve." Every hazardous waste evidence-gathering operation is strictly regulated by numerous laws and mandated procedures. This book has been written in a format that will take the new investigator successfully through this learning process. In addition, the text provides the comprehensive procedures and techniques necessary to successfully complete a criminal environmental investigation. Some of the major issues addressed include training, equipment, available resources, gathering probable cause, search warrant team structure, search warrant execution, gathering evidence in a hot zone, drum tracing techniques, and sampling and analysis for criminal evidence. Each of the investigative techniques and procedures described in the book have been successfully used in criminal environmental prosecutions, and each chapter has been designed as a comprehensive reference to assist the environmental investigator with the individual tasks he or she may face.

5.0 out of 5 stars
First book that actually tells how to do it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Environmental Crime: Evidence Gathering and Investigative Techniques (Hardcover)
Many books have been written about environmental crime. This is the first one that explains,in clear terms, how to conduct the criminal investigation in an environmental case. The information it contains is so complete, and so detailed, you know the author has been doing the work for a very long time. One of the most valuable parts of the book is the chart in the back. By looking up a chemical name, you can easily tell which federal laws regulate it. I wish I had this book when I first started in the field!

Environmental Crime: Evidence Gathering & Investigative Tech,
By Ronald M. Organ (S. Setauket, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Environmental Crime: Evidence Gathering and Investigative Techniques (Hardcover)
I have just completed Mr. Drielak's incredible book. I am an attorney and have read and studied many instructional books that try to impart the author's experience and knowledge. None has ever done it this well. Most instructional books contain extraneous, and often useless, information. "Environmental Crime" contains nothing but exacting, practical, useful, and insightful information for any person seeking to learn about this subject. I am eagerly waiting for his book on weapons of mass destruction.
