ABOUT THE CORONER’S BUREAU
The mission of the Alameda County Sheriff's Office Coroner's Bureau is to serve and protect the interests of the community by determining the cause, circumstances and manner of sudden or unexplained deaths, and by identifying deceased persons and notifying their next of kin, regardless of where they may live in the world, while ensuring the deceased and their property are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. We accomplish our mission through the use of peace officer investigators, forensically trained pathologists and consultants, and other scientific methods of inquiry. We serve as an independent finder of fact in our search for the truth. The Coroner's investigation and conclusions strive to provide a balance to the scales of justice and seek resolution to medical mysteries.
The Coroner’s Bureau is the Regional Mutual Aid Coordinator for California’s Region II whose responsibility includes the coordination of intra- and inter-regional mutual aid in large scale events. During State and Federal mutual aid requests, the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau will follow the direction of the California Mutual Aid Coordinator, within the office of the Governor. The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau is currently seeking accreditation through the National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME). The Coroner’s Bureau currently employs several investigators who have been certified Diplomat by the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators.
