The Alabama Coroner's Training Commission was created to ensure that Coroners and Deputy Coroners, be they elected or appointed, and receive adequate training to properly perform their duties. This will be realized by providing the Commission the ability to prescribe standards of training for Coroners and the responsibility to collect and maintain records pertaining to individual Coroner Office's, Coroner's, and Deputy Coroner's training records. The Commission will review potential training and education courses and determine their suitability and value to the position of Coroner. The Commission will then grant or deny education credit to the prospective training or education and by doing so will decide how much, if any educational credit a Coroner or Deputy Coroner will receive for successfully completing the course or training. The Commission will work, where possible, with the communities of higher learning, Public Health, Forensic Sciences, Prosecutorial and Law Enforcement inside and outside the borders of the State of Alabama.
