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.

Murder Scene Cleanup May Require Working With CSI Teams

Friday, August 20th, 2010

The homicide scene cleaner company had been on the site of the murder for over six hours but had not yet been given the green light to proceed with their murder scene cleanup. The murder had occurred more than eight hours ago and the police detective in charge of the case had called them shortly after he had arrived on the scene. But the suspect had been shot by the eventual decedent before the victim expired. Accordingly, the samples of blood on the scene were possibly, though not clearly, mixed. The police were trying to get the best toxicology experts out to the scene because of the problem they faced. They wanted to ensure the blood that was taken at the scene was properly collected so they could run valid DNA tests on the samples.

Accordingly, the homicide scene cleaning company staff waited. Since these homicide scene cleaners also performed accident scene cleanings, crime scene cleanings, suicide scene cleanings, blood scene cleanings, meth lab cleanings, odor removal cleanings and other death scene cleanings, they were completely sensitive to the problem. They did clean up a little bit of debris from the area but nothing of great significance.

Finally, the toxicology experts confirmed they had been able to collect several samples of blood that were clearly different types. At that point the detective told the death scene clean up company to proceed with its work. For the next few hours they scrubbed and scoured the premises before finally decontaminating the area. They consulted with the police additionally before finishing their work after being on site for upwards of twelve hours.

The Collaborative Relationship with Law Enforcement

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Crime scene cleaning companies must develop a collaborative relationship with local law enforcement units in order to effectively perform their function. Many such companies which also perform homicide scene clean ups, accident scene clean ups, death scene clean ups, suicide scene clean ups, meth lab clean ups must first consult with detectives and other police officers who are in charge of processing a crime scene to ensure that no evidence that will be needed in the development of their case is misplaced or misused. Often there needs to be coordination to ascertain when the police have completed their crime scene processing and when the crime scene cleaning company can commence its crime scene clean up.

Furthermore, it is not beyond possibility that those who work on a crime scene cleaning or homicide scene cleaning, accident scene cleaning, suicide scene cleaning, death scene cleaning, blood scene cleaning or meth lab cleaning will be required to meet with police after the crime scene processing is complete or as a case is developed. Such staff may even, in a some cases be subpoenaed by a District Attorney’s office to testify in court about the condition of a crime scene or the manner in which certain remnants of the crime were disposed.

Finally the better the collaboration between the crime scene cleaning company and the police force, the better chance that particular crime scene cleaning company will be retained in the future when their services become needed again. Essentially the relationship between a local police outfit and a crime scene cleaning company is a mutual one: the police needs the crime scene cleaning company to ensure its responsibility to public safety is met and the crime scene cleaning company needs the police to properly do its job and put itself in a position to get additional jobs in the future.

Comprehensive Range of Scene Clean Up Services

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Crime scene clean up companies vary in terms of the kind of services which they may provide. Some focus on accident scene cleanings. Others focus on death scene cleaning, or homicide and suicide scene. Many tend to work on MRSA infection or staph infection cleanup. And yet others will perform meth lab cleanings.

Perhaps the most effective crime scene cleanup companies are those that offer a comprehensive range of services: the ability to handle all of these types of cleanups not to mention odor removal or odor scene cleanups, blood scene removal or blood scene cleanups and trauma scene cleanings. The virtue of being so multi-faceted is that they have exposure to many types of problems relating to hazardous chemicals. This enables them to call on a greater level of experience when faced with a new problem.

Sometimes particularly with the cleaning of a meth lab, a meth lab cleaning company may identify a unique chemical they have not seen before. By learning to determine how to effectively and completely eliminate a new hazardous material they will be better prepared to handle new problems that other crime scene cleaners may miss.

Regardless, it should be noted that there are an abundance of different types of crime scene cleaner companies in today’s marketplace. Until we manage to live in a crime-free or accident-free world we can expect the need for their services to continue to exist.

The Proper Way For Crime Scene Cleanup

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

The processes necessary to perform a proper accident scene cleanup, homicide scene cleanup, crime scene cleanup or suicide scene cleanup generally involve at least three aspects:

  1. The assessment of a site to learn what the accident scene cleanup regime will entail; i.e., what chemicals, bloods, toxins, debris, or other hazardous materials remain;
  2. What chemicals, products or other agents are necessary to disinfect or sanitize an a crime scene cleanup site, a blood scene cleanup site or a homicide scene cleanup location; and
  3. The procedure for utilizing the chemicals, products or agents necessary to for the sanitizing or disinfecting process of an accident scene cleanup site, blood scene cleanup site, homicide scene cleanup site or a suicide scene cleanup site.

Once these three steps are taken to ensure a crime scene cleanup, accident scene cleanup, blood scene cleanup, homicide scene cleanup or suicide scene cleanup is performed correctly, that professional accident scene cleanup company needs to then follow up by verifying that the process worked. Did all of the toxins, chemicals or blood that were part of the accident scene cleanup site, blood scene cleanup site, homicide scene cleanup site or suicide scene cleanup get completely removed? Once the answer to that question is determined to be an unqualified “yes”, then you know that the accident scene cleanup, blood scene cleanup, homicide scene cleanup or suicide scene cleanup was properly and fully conducted.
