What Is Crime Scene Cleanup Training?

Crime scene cleanup training teaches the proper procedures for cleaning, disinfecting, and decontaminating environments affected by blood, body fluids, tissue, and other biohazardous materials.

This type of work may also be referred to as:

• Crime scene cleanup
• Crime and trauma scene cleanup
• CTS Decon (A term coined by Mr. Tillman in 2003)
• Biohazard cleanup
• Forensic cleaning
• Bio-recovery
• Biohazard mitigation or abatement

All of these terms describe the biological cleaning and decontamination of scenes involving:

• Suicides
• Homicides
• Unattended deaths
• Accidents
• Decomposition scenes

Most work occurs in non-medical environments such as private homes, apartments, hotels, vehicles, and commercial properties so we deal with grieving families many times.

Who This Crime Scene Cleanup Course Is For

This crime scene cleanup certification course is ideal for:

• Business owners who want to add biohazard or trauma cleanup services
• Entrepreneurs looking to start a crime scene cleanup company
• Individuals seeking certification to work for an established cleanup company
• Restoration contractors expanding into high-revenue specialty services

No prior experience in law enforcement or medicine is required.

Do You Need Law Enforcement or Medical Training?

No. Absolutely not.

A crime scene technician works for law enforcement and collects evidence.

And a crime scene cleanup technician performs the biological cleanup after law enforcement releases the scene.

Medical professionals treat living people and animals. Cleanup technicians decontaminate environments affected by trauma, decomposition, and biohazards.

AMDECON focuses on practical, real-world training—not unnecessary academic material that does not increase your earning potential.
