The staff at the Pulaski County Coroner's Office might be going back to school.
Coroner Gerone Hobbs asked the quorum court on Tuesday for an additional $18,000 next year, saying his people need continuing education about crime scenes.
He says education wasn't a focus of the previous coroner, and now he wants everyone on the same page.
"We want our deputy coroners to be highly trained in their field," Hobbs says.
Coroner Hobbs says the course he'd send them to would teach things like blood splatter analysis, arson and even sudden infant death.
