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!

If you’re the owner of a security guard company or private investigations firm, you’ve probably seen a loss of business over the past several years.

On the other hand, my friend asked me to post something about his company’s new book, so I suppose I’m just helping out a friend. Six of one, half dozen of the other . . . here’s my post.
The Crime Scene Cleanup Industry is a quiet seldom heard about industry with a huge profit potential. Throughout the United States, new Crime and Trauma Scene Cleanup Companies are being created on a weekly basis. Working on behalf of home owners, insurance companies and property management companies, crime scene cleanup companies are contracted to restore properities to a pre-incident condition following a death or accident. Many such companies, servicing large metropolitan areas, receive several jobs a week at an average bill rate of over $200 per hour. According to industry professionals, every job requires at least two technicians and can often take upwards of eight to twelve hours per technician. If my math is correct, such a job would bring in nearly $4,000. A few of these a week and you’ve got a nice little business.
