The public should be able to have the utmost trust in its government officials; therefore, the Public has the right to expect that all county officials adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct. It is the responsibility of all public officials to establish an environment that encourages an individual conscience that faithfully follows both the letter and spirit of the law, conforms to upright behavior, and places the public’s interest before personal gain.

Likewise, because inappropriate and/or criminal behavior undermines the effectiveness of the entire government to carry out its responsibilities to the public, each county official has a duty to report unethical or criminal behavior to the appropriate authority. We are all responsible for cultivating an ethical work culture.

Will Carson, Coroner

FAQs:

• What happens during a Coroner’s investigation? The Coroner’s investigation includes photographing the scene, interviewing witnesses, prescription medication inventory, examining the decedent to determine the manner and cause of death.
• What is an autopsy? An autopsy is a resource used to help determine the cause of death. Only the Coroner and Prosecutor can order an autopsy. The next-of-kin can order a private autopsy at their expenses. (Resources: https://www.1800autopsy.com/ and https://www.thename.org/private-autopsies ). Any objections to an autopsy will be considered within our ability to still perform our duties.
