Essentials Of Crime Scene Cleanup Carmel IN

By Lena Stephenson


According to news reports, two people were shot in an apparent murder-suicide in Carmel, IN, one day in October 2011. After the law enforcement officers, paramedics, coroners and crime scene investigators go home, the couple's two children were left with a traumatic, indescribable mess. It is hard to believe that right up until the end of the 20th century, there were no crime scene cleanup Carmel IN professionals to help them restore their home to its original condition.

According to Neighborhood Scout, in terms of the amount of violent crime in Carmel, Indiana, the city is safer to live in than 80 percent of the cities in the United States as a whole. These figures do not include violent suicides. Crime scene cleanup teams do more than restore violent crime scenes, they are also called upon to clean up animal hoarding scenes, meth labs, unattended deaths, Hazmat, biohazard and other accidents as well.

Back in the old millennium, there were few CTS decon crews to deal with the aftermath of a violent death. The bereaved families were left to manage on their own, mopping up blood and brains through their tears. Today, with the associated dangers of bio-terrorist attacks, the Ebola virus and just trying to live together without killing each other, it's hard to imagine a time when they weren't around. According to an old British saying, "where there's muck there's brass." This means that the people who are willing to pick up what the rest of us can't face, stand a good chance of earning a decent living.

It takes a special type of character to do this type of work. Empaths need not apply. These out of control healers would get drawn into trying to help the survivors, not only distracting them from the task at hand, but they would also become hopelessly drained emotionally.

On the other hand, the crime scene cleaning team cannot be totally bereft of people skills. You would expect the occupants of the house to maybe stay out of the way of the workers, not wanting to confront the stark reality of what had happened. Instead, the bereaved family go out of their way to show their appreciation for these people who are helping them out of a difficult situation.

Decon operatives must also be highly trained in HAZWOPER procedures. These are the ghost-busters, the guys who show up to deal with anything from mustard gas to the zombie apocalypse. Under federal law, any bodily fluid constitutes a hazard and a potential infection risk.

Crime and trauma decontamination specialists (CTS decon) have to have special permits and training to carry out this type of work. They have to know how to deal with the entire spectrum of hazards, from nerve gas to blood borne pathogens. This is highly risky work. One mistake and they are part of a newer, deadlier, crime scene.

One thing the first responders don't need is a second responder, the CTS decon team, to try to be a hero. Their approach has to be considered, deliberate and calm. In this respect, a crime scene cleanup specialist is similar in character to a bomb disposal expert. The major difference is they are trained in different specialties. Here, there is probably less of a need for the bomb guy to have the same level of social skills as the CTS decon team.
