Spring 2008 Coroner Basic Academy - Module A |
The 80 hour Basic
Death Investigation Course has been divided into two Modules A & B, both
40 hour courses. Students may register with the Sacramento County
Coroners’ Office or Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Coroner Division
for Module A. In every case the Orange County Sheriff’s Department,
Coroner’s Division will facilitate Module B. Please note that both
agencies can only accommodate 20 students at a time and will be
conducting the courses one week apart. Also note that both modules are
required for death investigators who fall under Penal Code section
830.35(C). Death investigators who fall within Penal Code section 830.1
are strongly encouraged to take Module A; however, California P.O.S.T
does not require its completion. All death investigators, regardless of
their penal code classification are required to complete Module B and
Orange County can accommodate up to 40 students. Successful completion
of Module A by students under section 830.35(C) is required in order to
attend Module B which will be held approximately one month later at the
California Coroner Training Center in Orange County. In every case a
confirmation number will be required to register for both modules.
Students are required to complete a
Student Prerequisite Worksheet along with reading the National
Guidelines - "Death
Investigation: A Guide for the Scene Investigator
"
and "Duties
& Responsibilities of Coroner and Related Laws".
The requirement of the Coroner’s Death Investigation Course shall only apply to peace officer coroners hired on or after the agency enters the California P.O.S.T. program. It should be noted that satisfactory completion of the POST-certified Coroner’s Death Investigation Course is required within 12 months of the investigator’s date of appointment.
