To our readers:                                                                           In our commitment to pursue excellence, we have focused this past quarter on honing our skills through a variety of training programs. Having hired the most talented people in our field, we have now been attending training programs to ensure that our skills are the most up-to date as possible. The past few months have given us our own version of Spring Training.

 

Technical skills in methamphetamine laboratory remediation were improved after Steve & I attended a training session sponsored by the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HISTA). I personally attended a training seminar hosted by the Ohio Department of Agriculture pertaining to proper procedures for euthanasia and disposal training in the event Ohio would experience a catastrophic poultry disease or be affected by the Avian Influenza virus through migratory birds.  In July, Steve & I will be attending yet another more advanced training seminar on methamphetamine decontamination & remediation.

     Many times, when dealing with victims of trauma, you may be asked questions pertaining to guidance that you  do not know the answers without first researching an area.  A question was recently posed at the Two Days in May conference about what questions to ask a crime scene cleaning company when determining to whom a victim should be referred. 

 

     First, it is important to determine if they perform cleaning or restoration.  There is a big difference in the two areas.  Cleaning is just that—-cleaning.  Imagine that body fluids are on a carpet.  A “cleaning” will steam clean the area to “remove” it; while leaving debris in the pad & into the flooring.  Restoration involves literally removing any contaminated area.
