Before crime scene cleanup teams are even allowed to begin their work, police investigation teams do a thorough investigation of the scene, bagging and tagging all evidence. Professional technicians make sure to preserve all evidence and any other relevant information while providing scene remediation services.
For example, after a successful convenience store robbery, the robber escaped to his vehicle and drove away as the injured clerk, losing blood, alerted the police. Emergency response teams arrived at the store in minutes and quickly ordered an ambulance to take the clerk for medical help. The store clerk who was injured was able give detailed descriptions to police detectives. Police were also able review surveillance videotape. suicide cleanup
After a thorough investigation of the crime scene by CSI, a professional cleaning company was called by police to clean up the aftermath of the robbery. One of the technicians noticed a tiny speck in the blood as they cleaned the area around the counter. This was something that the police had missed because it was so small. Apparently, the robber had scratched himself on a metal appendage attached to the counter when he drew his gun.
Police detectives were notified of the discovery. Police were notified by one of the cleanup technicians who showed it to them. As this company frequently conducts suicide scene, meth lab, odor removal and other death scene cleanups as well as blood and trauma scene cleanups, they have experience working with police and identifying substances.
The police ran the blood for DNA analysis and compared it to samples they had in storage at the county jail. The photo of a previous defendant that matched the one in the video footage from the convenience store was used to identify him. The courthouse located the address of the victim and arrested and convicted him.
Although this isn’t a common occurrence it is a requirement for trauma scene remediation work. Attention to detail is a primary qualification. Crime scene cleanup is not like janitorial service. The job of professional biohazard cleaners is to eliminate potential hazards from blood and bodily fluids wherever they land. These cleanup teams must be thorough and attentive to all details. If this is something that makes you proud, the team can help the police with their investigation.
