Northern Kentucky Gets New Medical Examiner | Cincinnati News

Northern Kentucky is finally getting its own medical examiner’s office after a decade without one—thanks to Governor Beshear’s push and $21 million in state funding. The new facility, set to open by 2028 in the renovated Highland Heights Civic Center, will also house the Kentucky State Police crime lab, streamlining investigations across the state. This long-overdue upgrade means faster answers for grieving families, better support for law enforcement and funeral homes, and fresh research and internship opportunities for NKU students—all right here in the region.
