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.

Scene Cleanup: Working With Law Enforcement Agencies

Friday, June 4th, 2010

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.

Crime Scene Clean Up: Objective – Remediation

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Crime scene cleaner companies operate on the principle that the physical products of a crime, whether visible or not, should be disposed of quickly but not too hastily to suggest carelessness or leave a worse problem. Site remediation work is the process of returning a trauma site to its original clean state. Professional scene cleanup companies focus on the removal of these dangerous products of a crime both to ameliorate health problems and to ease potential psychological effects. Scene cleanup companies perform homicide scene clean ups, suicide clean ups, blood scene clean ups, accident scene clean ups, meth lab clean ups, staph infection clean ups, mrsa infection clean ups and odor clean ups.

In each and every instance, the objective is complete site remediation. Crime scene cleaner companies focus on the resolution of a physical problem to solve what is also a psychological issue: the impact the observable evidence of a crime has on a neighborhood, home owner, apartment landlord or tenant, a community or a city. These companies approach the crime scene clean up in all of its above-mentioned types by professionally addressing actual physical problems: smells, stains, blood, infections, toxins, hazardous chemicals. By succeeding in this approach the crime scene cleaning companies bring, not only a healthy environment for people to enjoy and thrive in, but also the peace of mind that comes with not being faced over and over with the physical reminders of the crime committed.

Perfect Wedding Does Not Include Corpse

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

The wedding of Susan Claire Buckingham to Charles Emerson Stewart was scheduled to take place Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. in Rye, New York. Family photographs were to be taken at 6:30 before the wedding out by the gazebo which overlooked the Hudson River. On Friday night on the bank of the opposite side of the river, two unidentified men deposited the corpse of a man who had been shot twice once in the head and the other right below the heart. On Saturday morning when the custodian of the lodge where the wedding was to take place went out to the gazebo he found the body of the deceased. Then he called the police and got them out there. They began the investigation and processed the crime scene. When the director of the lodge asked the police if they had removed all of the residue from the corpse still at the bank of the river, the detective told him that was not his job. With the family of the bride expected in just a few hours, the chance that members of the wedding party would saunter down to the bank of the Hudson pretty high and his guarantee that all would be picture perfect, the director started to get really anxious.

Fortunately, the detective gave him the name of a homicide scene cleaning company. This death scene cleanup company that conducts crime scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanupsdeath scene cleanups in addition to blood scene cleanups sprang in to action. Arriving by 1:00 p.m. they assessed the condition of the area where the corpse had been found, removed all blood stains, some decomposed tissue and began to use various chemicals to ensure total decontamination of the area. By 4:00 p.m. they concluded that all remnants of the corpse had been duly disposed. The supervisor of the homicide scene cleanup accurately certified that the scene was safe, free from toxic residue and remaining odor and that the place was safe for the wedding.

Later as the director peered out at the gazebo while Mr. Stewart and Miss Buckingham and their respective families stood around the gazebo as the photographer directed their stances and positions, he smiled with great relief. Thanks to the thorough and professional efforts of the death scene cleaning company, his problem was averted and the bride and groom’s special day could go off without a hitch.

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.
