What Is Trauma Scene Cleanup?
Trauma scene cleanup — also called forensic cleaning or crime scene restoration — is the professional removal and decontamination of biological hazards left behind after a traumatic event. This includes blood, bodily fluids, and other biohazardous materials that pose serious health risks if not properly handled.
Unlike standard cleaning services, trauma scene cleanup requires specialized training, OSHA-approved equipment, and strict safety protocols. Our team is IICRC certified and fully compliant with NYS Department of Labor and NYS DEC regulations, ensuring every job is handled safely, thoroughly, and with complete discretion.

Our Owner and Founder
James Smith, the heart and driving force behind Post Trauma Scene Decon, brings a unique blend of personal commitment and professional expertise to the field of biohazard remediation. As a disabled veteran and former police officer and crime scene technician with over 20 years of experience, James has witnessed firsthand the critical need for specialized cleaning services in the aftermath of crime scenes, suicides, and other tragic events.
James’ extensive background has equipped him not only with the technical skills required for such sensitive work but also a deep understanding of the emotional impact these situations have on those affected.
Driven by a desire to serve his community and recognizing the lack of certified professionals in this field, James took the initiative to become certified in October 2023. His certification encompasses a wide range of services, including crime scene cleanup, death and suicide cleaning, bioremediation, drug lab cleaning, and forensic cleaning.
James’ approach to his work is characterized by a commitment to his customers’ needs and a profound desire to alleviate their burdens during difficult times. He leads a team of professionals who are not only skilled in their craft but also share his values of compassion, respect, and efficiency. Together, they ensure that each site is methodically cleaned and restored to its previous state, providing peace of mind and a sense of closure to those affected.
At Post Trauma Scene Decon, James represents more than just the owner; he is a local, experienced professional who embodies the ethos of the company – to respond promptly and provide thorough, respectful, and meticulous cleaning services that meet the highest standards of the industry.
