Why Police Do Not Clean Crime Scenes.
Police officers and sheriff’s deputies have a clear mission. They protect the public, secure the scene, and collect evidence.
They are not trained or equipped to perform full biohazard remediation or forensic cleaning after a crime.
In the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Bloodborne Pathogens Standard sets strict rules for handling them.
Police agencies are not structured as biohazard remediation companies and do not offer full decontamination services.
In addition, regulated medical waste must be packaged, transported, and disposed of under state and federal rules.
Crime scene cleanup companies like Bio-Tec operate within these regulations every day.
