Crime Scene Cleanup Carmel IN

By Lena Stephenson


Try to think of a total show-stopper in a group of people when the subject of what job they do comes up. Was it crime scene decontamination. These people have to turn up at work and be prepared to clean up after a double murder-suicide. Often, they have to get on with their work in the presence of the bereaved family members. Such is the life in crime scene cleanup Carmel IN.

Statistically speaking, Carmel, Indiana, is in the top 20 percent of safest cities to live in the entire United States. No matter what type of community, there are always going to be violent suicides and other deaths and there is always going to be a job for the crime and trauma scene decontamination crew. Their job is to restore normality to animal hoarding sites, abandoned meth labs, unattended deaths, and accidents involving biohazards and other hazmat.

Taking into consideration the threats of bio- or chemical terrorism, Ebola, and the extreme dangers associated with meth labs, it is hard to imagine a time when innocent families were left to cope with the aftermath of these incidents on their own. Cleaning up crime scenes and similar situations is now big business. As the English say, "where there's muck, there's brass, " meaning people will pay a high price for someone to dispose of undesirable substances. Here, that applies to blood, brains, and hazardous chemicals.

You need a special type of personality to handle this line of work. Ultra-sensitive people need not bother applying. While society does have a use for these people, trying to clear up blood while lending a kind shoulder to a relative does not mix. Not only is there the distraction from the work they are purposed to do, the drain on their own emotions would rapidly get out of hand.

This is not to say that crime scene cleaners need to be completely heartless. A sympathetic, diplomatic nature is crucial to managing the emotions and behavior of the people who are left behind in a violent death. After that, a strong stomach is the most important character for an aspiring cleaner to try and cultivate. Anyone who vomits easily should probably not give up their current job and take this up as a career.

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.

The CTS decon team also need specialist training and associated permits to be allowed to do this kind of work. They have to have the smarts to understand the chemistry behind anything from the entire spectrum of blood borne pathogens to nerve gas, and how the ingredients in their cleaning solutions are going to react. Goof it up and another, more qualified decon team will be mopping up their remains the next day.

One thing you don't need as a CTS decon operative is an attitude. While natural selection automatically weeds out those types who will do anything on a dare (they get blown up or develop a horrible disease, hopefully before they have had a chance to reproduce), it takes a patient, deliberate approach. Not someone who shoots and asks questions later. What they are looking for is something like a bomb disposal expert with a heart of gold.
