About Cascade County Sheriff/Coroner
The elected Sheriff also has the title and responsibilities of the County Coroner. The marriage of the two professions provides for a more efficient means of providing care to the citizens of Gallatin County and the investigation experience gained by law enforcement officers readily lends itself to death investigations.
