Once law enforcement or other authorities have finished their work and released a scene, the property may still contain blood, bodily fluids or other contamination that requires cleanup.
When professional cleanup may be appropriate
Property cleanup is separate from the investigative process. If the scene has not been released, wait until the appropriate authority says cleanup can begin.
Before cleanup begins
Keep people and pets away from the affected area when practical.
Avoid unnecessary contact with blood, bodily fluids or contaminated material.
If emergency responders or law enforcement still control the scene, wait until it is released.
Do not assume that a surface is fully addressed simply because visible material has been removed.
