I am
honored to
declare my candidacy for Arapahoe County Coroner in the November 2018
election. As a board certified Forensic Pathologist and the incumbent Arapahoe County
Coroner, my education as well as my experience make me the most qualified person for this
position. No other candidate will have the background training and
hands-on involvement that I
bring to the office. I believe that it is important for the people of Arapahoe County to continue to uphold higher standards by electing a Forensic Pathologist to the Office of Coroner.
I served the citizens of Arapahoe
County as the Forensic Pathologist at the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office
for approximately ten years, working closely with the previous Coroner and
Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Michael Dobersen. After being elected to the position in 2014, it has been a high priority maintain the high quality of service the community has received and to honor the many achievements of the office. I have
well-established relationships with many community partners, including law
enforcement agencies, funeral homes, the health department, the legal community and the medical
community. Of upmost importance to my office is maintenance of certification by the National Association of Medical Examiners. We are one of only four county coroner's offices in the state to achieve this accreditation; all four of the coroner's offices that have met these rigorous standards are under the leadership of a Forensic Pathologist as the Coroner.
I
invite you to get to know me and see what the Office of Coroner is really
about. Feel free to contact me and I will return your e-mail or phone
call; I am also happy to meet with you personally or with any interested group
or organization. I would be honored to have your support as Arapahoe
County Coroner.
Kelly
Lear, M.D.
