The Forensic Division is comprised of 4 Medical Examiners who are Forensic Pathologists, 6.5 full time Forensic Pathology Techs and 1.5 Forensic Assistants.
Each day a Forensic Team of 2 Forensic Pathologists and 3-4 Forensic Pathology Techs examine cases from the previous 24 hours.
Our Forensic Teams evaluate and examine an average of 10-15 cases per day. All cases are examined, but not all are autopsied. Decisions to autopsy are based on all pertinent information surrounding the case, Nevada Revised Statutes and County Ordinances. Forensic Pathologists evaluate information gathered by our Coroner Investigators and determine what cases will be autopsied. |
