Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 25 - 31, 2026, as Medicolegal Death Investigation Professionals Week in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution, a formal request from the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate January 25-31, 2026, as Medicolegal Death Investigation Professionals Week. Medicolegal Death Investigators are described as the "last responders" in the emergency services system, responsible for investigating deaths to determine their manner and cause, and collecting vital statistics on death trends. The resolution highlights their crucial role in representing deceased individuals, their families, and communities, particularly in cases of suspicious, violent, unattended, unexplained, or unexpected deaths. It emphasizes that these investigations are essential for public health and law enforcement, giving a voice to those who can no longer speak. The week is intended to acknowledge and honor the difficult, critical, comprehensive, and compassionate work these professionals perform around the clock to provide answers to grieving families and communities, and to raise awareness of their vital role.
