The Mecklenburg County Medical Examiner's Office (MCMEO) mission is to provide county morgue and medical examiner/forensic pathology services to the citizens of Mecklenburg County. The MCMEO also provides consultation and forensic pathology services to five regional counties; Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston and Union. 

Three board certified Forensic Pathologists are responsible for overseeing each death investigation conducted at the facility, totaling approximately 1300 annually. The MCMEO interacts with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to assist in death investigations. The Forensic Pathologists provide expert testimony in court reporting their findings on the cause and manner of death. 

The Mecklenburg County Attorney Office provides a broad range of legal services to the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners and all County officials. These services aim to promote the public service objectives of the County.     

The Office of Strategy & Innovation is a division of the Mecklenburg County Manager’s Office. The division is responsible for developing and managing the County’s corporate strategic business plan, coordinating with department directors on strategic planning, managing the annual Employee Climate Survey and assisting with other internal priorities throughout the organization.  

Mecklenburg County’s Historic Landmarks Department already offers its Adventure Club so that you can visit our county’s historic properties. Now we’re launching a new initiative so that you can learn more about those properties: a brand-new book club specifically associated with the history of Mecklenburg County and North Carolina, as well as historic preservation efforts in general. We call it “Historic Bookmarks” (yes, very “punny”!). And our Historic Bookmarks book club is holding its first-ever book club meeting at Camp North End and we want you to join us! We’ll be discussing Charlotte’s role during WWII with Charlotte’s own Meredith Ritchie, author of Poster Girls, a historical fiction novel set in Charlotte during WWII and based on true but forgotten events.
