22ndCenturyMedia.com active aging part one 22nd century media | February 27, 2020 | 9 Will County Coroner’s Office candidate has needed experience A man carrying four badges on his shirt is willing to trade them all in for one powerful badge: the gold badge of the Will County Coroner. Bolingbrook Police Sergeant Sean Talbot has been serving Will County as a first responder for nearly 30 years. He hopes that his lifetime of career preparedness will earn the votes of Will County voters on March 17. Democrat candidate Sean P. Talbot, 53, has spent the last 29 years of his life wearing many hats, serving Will County as a first responder on many different levels. He is currently a sergeant at the Bolingbrook Police Department. He began his law enforcement career at Shorewood Police Department in 1990. Police work was not enough for him, so Talbot began his volunteer firefighter career as a Troy fireman/EMT, then moved to Plainfield and became a Plainfield fireman. The growth of Will County caused these departments to hire part-time employees and eventually full-time firefighters. Talbot continued to work as a part-time Plainfield fireman and is currently employed as a part-time Troy firefighter/EMT. Talbot has spent the past 30 years as a volunteer and part-time firefighter/ EMT, holding the rank of lieutenant in Will County. He is a state-certified fire/ arson investigator through the University of Illinois Fire Service Institute and a member of the Division 15 Fire/Arson Investigations Task Force. Like all police officers, Talbot began his career in the patrol division. He eventually was assigned to the Investigations Division where he became lead homicide certified. He also became a special investigator with the Will/Grundy County Major Crimes Task Force. This is a position every area detective strives to be selected to be a part of. Talbot has also held the title of crime scene investigator, attending Northwestern University Center for Public Safety Crime Scene Investigations I, II, and III. Talbot also held the position of <strong>SW</strong>AT and sniper team leader for Bolingbrook Police Department. As an investigator, Talbot was one of the first investigators to successfully obtain charges against drug dealers on two drug induced homicide cases in Will County. Talbot said the heroin epidemic continues to plague Will County, and his firsthand knowledge in handling these cases will assist him in his new role as the Will County Coroner. The Joliet Catholic Academy and Purdue University graduate believes his lifetime experience has more than prepared him for his next journey as serving the county as the coroner. He’s played a part in investigating more than 1,000 deaths throughout his career. Until recently, Talbot allowed time to be employed part-time by the Will County Coroner’s office for 18 years as a deputy coroner. This part-time job furthered his career into the studies of death investigations. The Will/Grundy County Major Crimes Task force sent Talbot as a representative of the Coroner’s Office to the University of Tennessee’s forensic anthropology outdoor recovery course, commonly referred to as “the body farm.” At this week-long training, Talbot learned the extensive research behind body decomposition and many causes of deaths. Talbot and Detectives from all over the United States spent the week recovering bodies from the surface, as well as a full exhumation, studying the many different levels of decomposition, as well as trauma and possible causes of deaths. They gained a better understanding of the decomposition process, developed techniques for extracting information on timing and circumstances surrounding the death of the human remains they recovered from the burial sites. Talbot also learned the proper ways to document the recoveries in preparation for criminal or civil litigation. Talbot described this experience as both eye opening and life changing, a “once in a lifetime experience.” If elected, Talbot has plans to bring the Coroner’s Office into the 21st century. This would include technology updates, training updates, physical plant updates and expanding the office to better cover the east side of the county. He also aspires to hire more coroner’s deputies, which would reduce response times for families and law enforcement, and adding a facility for holding decedents in the east side of Will County. He strives to have full transparency of all of the coroner operations for Will County Please see coroner, 21 seantalbotforcoroner.com SEAN TALBOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONAL FOR A LAW ENFORCEMENT POSITION 30 years as Will County First Responder 30 years as a Will County Firefighter/EMT 29 years as a Law Enforcement Officer in Will County 18 years as a Deputy Coroner for the Will County Coroner’s Office VOTE Friends to Elect Sean Talbot for Coroner friendstoelecttalbot@gmail.com Work with local Law Enforcement to address the opioid epidemic in Will County through education, prevention & enforcement.
