BACKGROUND:
The District One Medical Examiner has experienced a significant increase in cases which impacts the per county case volume percentage formula. A break down of the case load increases is below. For Escambia County the case increases include a 32% increase in Homicide and 34% increase in Suicide.  Another factor in the increase is due to the vacancy of the Medical Examiner which requires the constant use of Locum Tenens.
