The Brown County Medical Examiner's Office (BCMEO) has been awarded a $101,460 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.560 - National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants) to enhance its forensic investigation capabilities. The funding will enable the BCMEO to procure necessary resources and equipment, train and certify personnel, and develop standard policies and procedures. Key outcomes of the 3-year project include ensuring adequate administrative space for forensic pathologists, implementing appropriate safety measures, certifying all eligible investigators with the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators (ABMDI), and creating transportation options for respectful handling of decedents. Achieving these objectives will ultimately allow the BCMEO to attain national accreditation and elevate the standards of death investigation for the County of Brown, Wisconsin.
