Other specific job duties include visiting death scenes, identifying human remains, supervising the transportation of corpses, operating crime scene equipment, completing death certificates and notifying next of kin.

The office of the Hardin County Prosecutor has a Victim Assistance Program to assist victims of crime throughout their dealings with the criminal justice system.
Victims of crime can be left feeling alone, afraid, frustrated, angry and violated. The victim’s advocate is here to help you and we will make every effort to ensure victims receive timely notification of scheduled changes that involve their case.
The Victim Assistance Program is currently funded 100% by the SVAA (State victim Assistance) Grant through the Ohio attorney Generals Office. A new grant is written each year to keep the program in operation.
