Death Scene Cleanup At Apartment Complex Robbery Gone Wrong

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Crime scene cleanup and homicide clean up is messy business. It requires a knowledge of crime scene investigation tactics and death scene cleanup technique. However, when there is a shooting at an apartment complex which affects the lives of many other families, a death scene cleanup company can make a real contribution to the community. This is just such a story.

The apartment complex was bifurcated in to two parts connected only by an unofficial path through the woods behind the buildings. Five men in one of the apartments discussed a plan to sell five weapons, two shotguns and three pistols, to some guys who lived on the other side of the complex. The kicker was that, after the “guys on the other side” showed them that they had the requisite money to purchase the guns, they would hold the guys up and take the money. They figured they could get away with it as the other guys were illegal aliens who had been working in the States for years but
never sought residency or citizenship.

When they went over to the “other side” one of the trigger-happy robbers started shooting killing three of the guys and seriously wounding another who had to have a bullet removed from near his chest and have his leg amputated. The police came but no one had seen it happen, and the only survivor, had not been in on the original deal so he had never seen these guys before and his observation of them lasted for only a few moments. After the police had the corpses removed, they advised the apartment complex to bring in a death scene cleanup company.

The death scene cleanup company, whose experience included suicide scene, accident scene, meth lab, odor removal and other death scene clean ups in addition to blood scene clean ups, first consulted with the police to verify all of the evidence they needed had been processed. Then they removed all the pieces of cartilage and tissue from the scene before cleaning all the blood from the site. They then applied decontaminants to this outside location. They concluded by assessing the area again and confirming to the property company and the police that they had completed their homicide scene cleaning.

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.

The Gritty Reality of Homicide Cleanup

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The last thing anyone wants to have to contemplate is the need to retain a homicide scene cleanup company. However, if a tragic death occurs at your business or home, you should recognize that law enforcement will probably only process the scene to the extent necessary to obtain and safeguard evidence. If a murder or accidental death has taken place on your property, it will be your responsibility to secure the services of a homicide scene cleaner company or death scene cleaner company.

The homicide scene cleaner company will most likely come in, consult with the police to identify what they have permission to remove. Then they will dispose of all materials that have no evidential value to the police investigation. Subsequently, they will safeguard any precious items belonging to the deceased or family of the deceased. Then they will subject the vicinity to a complete and thorough cleaning. Depending on the length of time a corpse has undergone decomposition, the homicide scene clean up company may also remove flooring, drapes, parts of walls or grout if there is a chance of this type of biohazard decontamination.

Finally, the homicide scene cleaning company will advise the property owner what, if anything else, should be done to secure the premises. At this point the property owner will have taken the crucial step of making his property safe for continued occupancy. This should, at least, in the face of such a tragedy, provide some measure of relief. Furthermore, it could satisfy an insurance company that tends to view these episodes in a more detached, cold fashion.

No Visible Reminders At Workplace Shooting

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

A man peers at the note in his hand. Coming just seven days after his wife kicked him out of the house, he re-reads the words on his termination notice from his job at the car plant. With the removal of his personal effects as the only thing he has left to do at the factory, he sluggishly puts on his navy jacket and leaves to go down there checking the contents of his left inside pocket. When he gets to the gate of the plant, he shows his ID card and tells the security guy he is there to clean out his locker. The security attendant waves him on in. He enters the factory through the employee entrance, walks to the locker room and loads up his belongings.

Before exiting he walks over to the factory floor. His ex-foreman, seeing him on the floor, comes over to tell him good-bye and “it’s time for him to go.” Disapproving of his foreman’s smirk, the laid off man pulls a gun from his pocket, fires at the foreman killing him with one shot to the cranium and unleashes a series of shots killing two other men directly and one indirectly as the man was shot in the arm while lifting part of a car assembly. The assembly fell onto another man smothering him to death. After the gun’s chamber was empty, the disconsolate man dropped the weapon and was summarily tackled by three other workers.

In addition to the police, a crime scene cleaning company was summoned to the factory. Blood, ripped tissue and other organic material was strewn all over the factory. The crime scene cleaning company, well-experienced in performing suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups and blood scene cleanups, sprung in to action. Knowledgeable of pertinent OSHA regulations, they were able to work well with the management of the factory. Cognizant of the need to preserve certain evidence for the police case against the arrested perpetrator, they consulted with the lead detective to ensure all evidence was properly gathered at certain times of the cleaning. Encouraged by the management of the company to act expeditiously, they worked swiftly but carefully.

The workers on the shift at that time will never forget the horror of that day. However, to the extent the physical reminders of the tragedy were removed as quickly as possible, there was no visible reminder to retrigger the trauma of the day although the sad memories will linger in their minds.

A Cleanup Company, Vital Part Of Law Enforcement Organizations

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Accident scene cleaning has become a more vital part of law enforcement organizations who need to respond quickly to traffic accidents. As more and more people have moved to large metropolitan areas that are generally served by multi-lane interstate highways, the number of traffic accidents has risen markedly. Also because of the severe impediment that these accidents constitute to all the other motorists who are trying to get to work, get kids to or from school or make their appointments, the premium for quick accident scene cleanup is significant. Several accident scene cleanup companies, many of whom also perform blood scene cleanup, murder scene cleanup, suicide scene cleanup, bio hazard cleanup and meth lab cleanup should be brought to the scene to work with the police in clearing out the roadways expeditiously, carefully and thoroughly.

It is vital that the police utilize a professional accident scene cleanup company for these jobs. A company with blood scene cleaning capabilities is preferable if an accident involves the loss of blood. An accident scene cleaning company can remove all debris, scour the accident scene of any blood or dangerous chemicals and can verify the site is ready for renewed highway travel.

Every time there is an accident on a highway artery in a major American city the lives of countless people are not only inconvenienced but also many people who rely on making business appointments can lose the opportunity to make money. Cities that maintain accident scene cleanup companies on call or on retainer can minimize the problem for their citizenry and others who rely on these highways. As most of these accident scene cleanup companies also specialize in blood scene cleanup, murder scene cleanup, suicide scene cleanup, bio hazard cleanup and meth lab cleanup, these companies can play a vital role in keeping a busy city rolling right along.
