DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department contracts with outside vendors to handle crime scene,
biohazard, and jail cell decontamination clean-ups. These clean-up locations include the
following: traffic accidents, violent crime scenes, jail biohazard cleanup, and fentanyl
decontamination. There are many concerns and potentially dangerous bacteria, viruses,
and other bloodborne pathogens in biohazardous materials, and it is crucial that the
clean-up is handled correctly.
In order to clean blood, tissues, drugs, and other bodily fluids with precision, crime scene
clean-up companies use professional products and specialized equipment. For this
reason, biohazard clean-up should always be performed by trained professionals who
follow all established state and federal protocols for biohazard clean-up and disposal. The
Santa Ana Police Department will contract with Ocean Blue Environmental Services Inc
and receive services at a reduced rate, on a fixed fee schedule, saving time and money.
