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. However, while providing their scene remediation services, professional technicians are careful to look out for and preserve any potential evidence, especially anything that might be of use to the forensics teams.
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. Crime Scene Cleanup
After a thorough examination of the crime scene by the CSI team, a professional clean up company, called in by the police, begin to clean the mess left by 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. The robber apparently had scratched his head on the counter’s metal appendage when he pulled the gun.
Police detectives were notified of the discovery. Police were notified by one of the cleanup technicians who showed it to them. This company is familiar with identifying and working with police.
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. An address for the man was found at the courthouse and the perpetrator was arrested and convicted.
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.
