Kittitas County, WA - 08/30/2022 - Coroner Nick Henderson announces he and all tenured Deputy Coroner's have achieved professional certification by the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators
Kittitas County Coroner Nick Henderson is proud to announce that “all of the tenured investigators in our coroner’s office have achieved national professional certification through the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators.” Henderson said, along with himself, Chief Deputy Coroner Ryan Gausman, Deputy Coroner Jacob Schroeder, and Deputy Coroner Bob Seelye are all certified as Diplomats of the ABMDI. This process requires an extensive amount of actual investigations experience as well as passing a very comprehensive, 8 part, 240 question examination to demonstrate a professional level of knowledge and comprehension of the concepts associated with death investigations. Henderson added, “I am proud of the progress our office continues to make toward being our very best in our efforts to serve the residents of Kittitas County.” “The coroner’s office has also voluntarily applied for, and is in the process of, achieving accreditation through the International Association of Coroners and Medical Examiners. So far we’ve done very well with this process as well and are looking forward to passing our final audit later this year.” “These certifications are all part of our continued commitment to excellence.”
