Homicide scene cleanups must be performed in strict conjunction with the law enforcement agencies running an investigation. In some cases multiple jurisdictions will participate in a single case. If a suspect is wanted by authorities outside the locality of a particular crime, city or county; or a police departments needs help to investigate a difficult case, state or federal officials may share responsibility for the case. In this event, the head of the homicide scene cleaning company’s operation must accurately delineate who is really in charge so that the appropriate release may be obtained.
It is not unusual for the state or the federal level – FBI, for example – to be brought in where the need for sophisticated analysis of particular evidence is required. The homicide scene cleaner company staff must work closely with each law enforcement agency to confirm what materials can be disposed and what needs to be left for these officials to secure. It is the vital interplay between the law enforcement agencies and the homicide scene cleaning team that ensures that vital evidence is neither tampered with or destroyed. It is the professional obligation of the murder scene cleanup operation to maintain this coordinated relationship with law enforcement.
Since homicide scene cleaner companies are also crime scene cleaner companies, murder scene cleaner companies, suicide scene cleaner companies, blood scene cleaner companies or death scene cleaner companies, they should wield the sensitivity to understand that certain materials should not be removed without authorization from law enforcement. Initially learning the specific chain of command for a job will alleviate this kind of problem.
