How this works in Smithville
As the county seat, Smithville is where DeKalb County's courthouse and much of its official business sit, and depending on the address, a crime scene may be released by city police or the DeKalb County sheriff. If a death is involved, the medical examiner's authorization also comes first. We schedule cleanup only after release, and we never handle evidence. Families often appreciate knowing they can wait for that release and let us take over from there.
Our work covers blood, contaminated materials and fingerprint powder in homes, outbuildings, businesses or vehicles, followed by disinfection of every affected surface. When the scene was a home belonging to a victim or a victim's family member, Tennessee's Criminal Injuries Compensation program may reimburse up to $3,000 of cleanup costs for certain crimes; it pays after other sources, and deadlines apply.

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.
