Crime scene cleaning - Advice

marcina bolan · 10-11-2009, 18:01

Does anybody know how I can go about getting into crime scene cleaning? I am considering going into it as I'm bored with my dental nursing job and don't want to go to university to be a hygienist anymore. How do I get into the field of cleaning crime scenes? What qualifications/training do I need and where can I go for them? I live in Middlesbrough and can only find a website for a crime scene cleaning company in Norfolk which seems to be the nearest one?

Maybe get in touch with the Norfolk company and ask them for advice? (email might be best)
Their website says they have certain certificates so you can potentially find out which are necessary, or who you can contact for the training aspect.

PS just as a random comment, I used to be a dental nurse, dropped out of uni studying hygiene, used to live in Middlesbrough, and now studying crime scene investigation!

The state of some peoples mouths should be classed as a crime scene so I can see where the transition from dental nurse comes from.

Ha ha you're right! Can't complain though the grot that comes through the door keeps me in a job! Maybe there is some link I like the cleaning aspect, hence wanting to go down the hygienist route. I would like to get into forensic science but again it would involve going to university, not something I'm wanting to do. So crime scene cleaning will suit me I think! There's just not a lot of places round here where I could even go on some sort of work experience to get a feel for the job...

What about trying insurance companies?
Just a thought cos they get ` cleaners` in sometimes, don`t they?
