The Jay Hatcher Memorial Resource Library was dedicated at a
ceremony in 2005 in memory of Abilene Police Detective Jay Hatcher.
Det. Hatcher was killed in a gas pipeline explosion in 2000. He was
Interim President of RCVCC at the time of his death.
Casey Hatcher, Jay's daughter, and
Rev. Jeff Hatcher, Jay's brother, at
RCVCC's "Men of Strength & Style"
in 2007.
Jay Hatcher was not only a skilled and dedicated crime solver, but he was also a
passionate advocate for victims of violent crime. As a detective with the Abilene Police
Department, Jay was unrelenting in going after the criminal. As a Board Member and
Officer of Regional Crime Victim Crisis Center, Jay was equally unrelenting in providing
the best quality and scope in services and assistance to victims and survivors.
He wanted RCVCC's counselors to have access to the latest innovations, research and
techniques for helping crime victims recover from their trauma. The Jay Hatcher
Memorial Resources library provides that state of the art information for RCVCC's
licensed therapists. Materials and resources for the library are funded with gifts to the
Jay Hatcher Fund.
Jay's family is active with RCVCC and continues to support his vision and the mission of
RCVCC.
