Crime Scene Cleanup in Grimsley
In Grimsley, county law enforcement usually handles and releases a crime scene. Once they have, we clear blood, fingerprint powder and debris from the home and leave evidence to them.
Once law enforcement releases a property, we remove blood, fingerprint powder, chemical residue and debris left by the incident and the investigation. Victims and families get a clear explanation of the work and help understanding what compensation programs may apply.

How this works in Grimsley
Grimsley is unincorporated, so a crime at a home or farm here is typically handled by the Fentress County sheriff's office, with the medical examiner involved if anyone died. The property remains theirs until they release it. That can feel slow when a family wants the house back, but it protects the investigation, and we will not touch the scene, or anything in it that might be evidence, before the release is given.
Once released, we take away blood, contaminated bedding or furniture, fingerprint powder and debris from forced entry, and then wash and disinfect. For specific crimes at a victim's home or a relative's home, Tennessee's compensation program for crime victims can reimburse up to $3,000 in cleanup costs; it is a last resort after insurance, and the crime generally must be reported within 15 days. See homicide cleanup and assault cleanup.
For a step-by-step explanation of the process, safety precautions and what we hand to other specialists, see our main crime scene cleanup page.
