The Allen County Coroner's Office strives to investigate all deaths in a professional manner.  Our motto is "We represent the living but speak for the dead." In Latin that is "Civitatem Servamus Mortes Loquimur."

The Coroner's Office has authority over all unnatural/ unattended/suspicious deaths occurring inside Allen County, including deaths of those who come from other counties but died here.

What We Do:

• Investigate deaths to determine Cause and Manner of Death.
• The Coroner serves all Allen County police agencies.
• Offers training sessions on a large range of death related issues to any school or organization upon request.
• Offers law enforcement training.
• Provides a mobile command unit to the law enforcement community and other counties.
• Provides one office internship per semester.
