About Shane Sheets

I am a seasoned leader and investigator with 10+ years of management and coordination of employee operations across a range of sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for ensuring operations are stringently aligned with protocol and regulations, as well as for engendering effective skillset development, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to organizational compliance and investigative excellence throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded target and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include death investigation operations, crisis management, legal knowledge, staff recruitment and training and cross-functional team leadership. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as HR operations, legal knowledge, staff development, and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Director of the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office. Under my leadership, I manage morgue operations, investigative operations, administrative support staff, and forensic pathologists. I work closely with death investigators and law enforcement to facilitate operations management. I also spearhead marketing and advertising of services to optimize demand generation. In addition, I liaise with stakeholders, and officials to ensure the organization’s investigative and forensic support structure is driving outcomes in adherence to all criteria. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, human resources, and death operations management expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget. I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field. Feel free to contact me through this profile if you wish to connect.
