“With experience leading the world’s only global medical examiner system, Dr. Briones is incredibly qualified to serve as Maine’s next Chief Medical Examiner,” said Gov. Mills in her statement, “I am pleased to welcome Dr. Briones home to Maine and thank her for her service in this critical role.”
Col. Briones originally hailed from Hampden, and previously headed the U.S. Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) before retiring from the military.
In that capacity, she headed forensic investigative services for the Department of Defense.
Aside from her time in the military, where she began as a combat medic, Briones also earned a doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine.
As Maine’s Chief Medical Examiner, she will manage the forensic examination of all suspicious deaths in the state which fall under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME).
“I am looking forward to bringing my family back to Maine, giving back to Maine, and continuing the great forensic practices already established within the Maine Office of the Chief Medical Examiner,” said Briones.
Briones will be taking over the position from Dr. Mark Flomenbaum, who was appointed to the position by Former Gov. Paul LePage (R-Maine) in 2014.
Dr. Flomenbaum retired from his position earlier this month, and Briones will take over the position full-time in June after fully relocating to Maine.

Briones photo tells us all that needs to be known about this appointment.
It sure leaves you asking, Why would anyone adorn a mask for a public photo?
Do we still need a mask?
Her retirement pay and State salrey should be over 500,000.
Emotion over logic – once again—
Why does she wear a mask? Because she’s stooopid and woke as hell more than likely. From one gov’t job to another.
Why does she wear a mask? Maybe she is stump fence ugly.
The mask is a sign of Obedience to the new one party system.
