We are a community of professionals in the field of death investigation. Whether you’re a coroner, a member of local police or county law enforcement, an EMS professional, or medical examiner – or frankly, anyone in between, Coroner Talk™ is the right community for you. We provide training and resources to coroners and death investigators by and from professionals around the world in a peer-to-peer training environment. I recognized that the training available for coroners and small department investigators was limited by resources such as time away from the department and expense. So, I developed Coroner Talk™.

Darren is a 35-year veteran of law enforcement and criminal investigations. He currently serves as a Coroner for Crawford County, Missouri. He holds credentials as an instructor for the Missouri Sheriff’s Training Academy (MSA) and Law Enforcement Training Institute (LETI). He has served as president of the Missouri Medical Examiners and Coroners Association and is certified and credentialed in numerous fields of investigation.

He holds the position of lead instructor and facilitator for the Death Investigation Training Academy (DITA) and for the Coroner Talk™ community as he speaks and writes in the area of death investigation and scene management.

Good info, just skip the first 10 minutes

Great show, very personable individual and interesting topic/guests!
My only problem is the first 10 minutes is spent advertising for his courses/books, asking for reviews, and asking you to spread the word for him (you work, he gets paid). I understand business models in our modern world include ads, but is no one else getting tired of our non-stop ad culture? Make up your own mind on how to spend your paycheque. Don’t even give someone the opportunity to try and convince you to give them money unless you’re actively shopping for something. Just skip ahead 10 or so minutes and you will enjoy the content. Five stars of course because the actual show is great.

Check your guests’ knowledge

I used to find the information interesting but lately I’ve had huge disagreements with some of the guests he’s had on - especially on topics involving mental health. I finally unsubscribed because the guest confused like 3 mental disorders as being one and the same, not to mention that he was using very judgmental terms. This guy wrote a book but couldn’t research the official terms for mental diagnoses??

New Brunswick Canada Listener ,

what a great show.

I started listening a few weeks ago, and just love the show. I came upon the podcast when I got a notification that Dan Zupansky was a guest. His show was one of the first Podcasts I ever downloaded, and I guess, the rest is history.
Informative, and a subject that always piqued my interest.
Keep up the great work
