Beyond the Dangers of a Crime Scene Cleanup Aftermath

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

By Scott Jemison, contributor

In the aftermath of any crime, but especially after a violent crime, crime victims are left with a horrible mess to deal with. Broken glass, fingerprint dust, and sometimes blood and tissue have to be cleaned up and disposed of. Beyond the mess and damage there is a very real danger from bio hazards. That’s why in the aftermath of crime – a violent crime and the police response to it – you need a qualified crime scene clean up company. Most crime scene cleanup falls into one of four categories.

Crime Scene Clean up Liability Issues

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

City and county leaders must be very careful with respect to how they instruct their governments’ personnel to respond to accidents and crimes. When it comes to crime scenes or accident scenes, they need to be familiar with their state law regarding liability for failure to clean up such sites so there is no physical hazards remaining that could harm the public.

In some states counties could be held liable for negligent cleanup of an accident or crime site. In some both counties and cities could be held liable and in others only cities could be held liable. The pertinent inquiry involves the question of whether the state has a constitutional provision which immunizes cities and/or counties from such liability. There is also a question as to whether the immunity is absolute or qualified. Another way of looking at it is whether the immunity is total or partial.

From a public health standpoint it is always best to bring in a professional crime scene cleaning company, accident scene cleaning company, homicide scene cleaning company, suicide scene cleaning company, odor removing company or meth lab scene cleaning company. From a legal standpoint, the question revolves around the issues of available immunity and the nature of that immunity for particular jurisdictions. If the immunity that is available to a county or city is not absolute, the city or county should bring in such accident scene cleaner companies, death scene cleaner companies, homicide scene cleaner companies, crime scene cleaner companies, suicide scene cleaner companies, blood scene cleaner companies, odor cleaner companies or bio hazard cleaner companies when the occasion arises for their services.

Basics of Crime Scene Cleanup

Friday, September 17th, 2010

The process of performing a complete crime scene clean up starts with an assessment of what needs to be disinfected and cleaned. As these crime scene cleaning companies also generally conduct accident scene clean ups, blood scene clean ups, homicide scene clean ups, suicide scene clean ups, meth lab clean ups, odor removal clean ups and death scene clean ups, not to mention staph infection scene clean ups, they have some sensitivity to any issues regarding evidence preservation and the chain of custody which most evidence must follow. Hence they must intelligently consult with police before commencing their crime scene cleaning.

Then the crime scene cleaners must identify the contours of their cleaning and determine what type of cleaning is warranted. This includes what types of products and cleaning agents should be used. Then they must actually do the cleaning and removal of all debris and unneeded materials.

Finally, the crime scene cleaner companies must disinfect the affected areas and areas of cross contamination. Once the crime scene cleanup companies finish that process, they must verify that the vicinity is free from any further decontamination. Then they must advise the owners of the property or the municipality if any follow-up action is needed. Then their job is truly complete.

Crime Scene Cleanup A Specialized But Necessary Service

Friday, August 27th, 2010

For many metropolitan areas, problems with lack of adequate sanitation or cleanliness pose an ever greater problem as more and more Americans migrate to major cities where jobs are more plentiful. Not only does higher population density in major cities place more emphasis on effective sanitation but also raises the need for smart crime scene cleaning.

Crime scene cleaning companies, which frequently also perform murder scene cleanings, unattended death scene cleanings, homicide scene cleanings, suicide scene cleanings, blood scene cleanings, staph infection cleanings, mrsa infection cleanings, meth lab cleanings and bio hazard cleanings supplement a municipality’s or county’s sanitation service’s responsibilities. While the latter focuses on the broad and recurring job of keeping the entire jurisdiction’s trash collected and disposed, the former pinpoints the recurring but far less regular job of ensuring that the mess made by a crime, whether it be  stabbing, shooting, automobile accident or meth lab production not leave a toxic or environmentally unsafe mark on the area.

Just as the sanitation companies also prevent the kind of group psychological damage that was famously epitomized in the 1970’s in New York when sanitation workers went on strike, crime scene cleaning companies preclude the type of local strain that would result from leaving a crime scene unattended and untreated. Accordingly, cities and counties should make efforts to retain crime scene cleanup companies as a regular part of their response to criminal activities.
