What is police raid cleanup?
Police raid cleanup is the securing and cleaning of a property after a search warrant, raid or forced entry. It can include board-up of broken doors and windows, debris removal, cleanup of tear gas or flash-bang residue, fingerprint powder removal, drug residue decontamination, and documentation of the property's condition.
Putting the property back together
Warrants and raids often involve forced entry, searches of every room, and sometimes chemical agents or flash-bang devices. When officers leave, the property may be unsecured and in disarray. If drugs were present, residue may remain on surfaces. Landlords may be dealing with a unit they did not know was involved in anything.
We start by securing the property, then clean up debris, chemical residue and powder. If drug residue is suspected, we test and decontaminate as needed. Everything is documented, which helps owners, tenants and insurers.
What raids often leave behind
- Broken doors, frames and windows
- Scattered belongings and debris
- Tear gas or pepper spray residue
- Flash-bang scorch marks and debris
