Security & Crime Scene Cleanup
0
As a 17 year owner of a security guard company, I always had my eyes open for another business that could be used to supplement my current income. In 2005 I found that opportunity in Crime Scene Cleanup and started Bio-Trauma 911, Inc.
For as nearly as long as I’ve worked in the security industry, I have worked part-time as a police officer. For too many years I watched as family members struggled to find help following the aftermath of a violent crime or terrible accident. Police officers and emergency personnel would come in, conduct and investigation, remove a body and depart the scene. Remaining was the blood, bodily fluids and small pieces of tissue and bone fragments for the family members to clean up.
Until 2005, I, just as so many families I tried to comfort in the midst of a horrible tragedy, had no idea that crime scene cleanup companies existed. It wasn’t something that most people talked about and it certainly wasn’t a popular internet search term. Now, six years later, I have answers!
Although I refrain from recommending my company to victims of the crimes and accidents I’m involved with as a police officer, I have business associates that I can recommend. The security industry on the other hand is fair game.
Security companies generally deal with a wide variety of industries that are not exempt from violent crimes and accidents that result in a loss of bodily fluids. Apartment complexes, manufacturing plants, warehouses and schools are just a few such clients that often benefit from our dual role as Crime Scene Cleaners.
Better yet, since the crime scene cleanup industry is inconsistent at best (not a lot of repeat customers), it serves as a wonderful supplement to our full-time security business. Many of our security officers are cross-trained as crime scene cleanup technicians and are always available when needed. When work is slow, they simply work as security officers until called upon. Most Crime Scene Cleanup Technicians make upwards of $23.00 per hour in the Midwest, so turnover is non-existent. Since most security officers make considerably less in the security industry, working part time in the crime scene cleanup industry increase their weekly take home pay and helps to keep them employed as security officers.
