Cartoon: Crime scene clean-up
Skylin Lui, Staff Writer
Unknown to many, the police and EMT workers do not clean up the scene after the deceased body has been removed. So what is to be done with the bloody aftermath? Often, it’s left to the deceased’s friends, family, or neighbors. However, this is incredibly traumatic and increases the chances of disease and infection. Under a new protocol in Philadelphia, biohazard professionals are hired to reach the scene after the crime. With Philadelphia being one of the first cities to implement this, hopefully, more cities continue to take responsibility for the aftermath of crime scenes. (Skylin Lui)
