Four Places to Call to Clean Up a Crime Scene Near Raleigh, North Carolina

Just suppose for a minute you own one of the five or six hundred or so houses or business places where a homicide or suicide will occur this year in North Carolina. Or perhaps you have the misfortune to be the officer in charge of these scenes.

Drawing the chalk lines and safeguarding the scene are just the beginning. Once the evidence has been collected and sent off to the lab, someone is going to have to clean up the scene. It is probably not the job with the highest fun rating.

The good news is that in most cases the homeowner or business insurance will pay for the clean up. The bad news is that for most of us, we have little knowledge of just how this works. In the most serious cases such as homicides the homeowner or business person will have access to someone from their local police unit that can suggest steps that need to be taken. You may also get guidance from the insurance company.

The nature of the event may make a large difference in how much aid you get from the authorities and the insurers. An accidental death with blood spatters versus a homicide with blood spattered evidence could receive very different handling from the authorities.

If you went for the cheapest rates on your insurance and your agent is a thousand miles away, don’t count on much assistance. If you live in a small, quiet town or the quiet part of a larger city your local authorities may be scratching their heads on just how to handle the situation. In a dangerous part of a city it may just be a routine thing.

Should you be told you are responsible for getting the clean up done, there are folks who will be glad to help you right here in North Carolina.
