crime-scene.
Cleanup
report

is
a
cheap
tie.
No
rain,
oh
and
DC
Falcons
as
well.
Yes,
so
please
come
on
up.
A
I
will
just
do
a
brief
introduction
and
then
we
can
gonna
go
with
this.
So
this
this
issue
has
just
come
up
recently,
but
I
mean
it's
been
an
issue
for
a
long
time,
and
this
is
an
issue
that
you
know
has
you
know
caught
my
attention
just
because
you
know
a
lot
of
the
crime
scene.
Related
issues,
you
know
have
happened
on
the
north
side
specifically,
and
so
you
know
wanted
to
bring
the
MPD
and
the
MFT
into
committee
to
just
you
know
present
on.
A
D
D
The
Minneapolis
Police
Department
has
had
a
long-standing
policy
where
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
is
responsible
for
cleaning
up
the
non
biohazard
aspects
of
a
crime
scene
such
as
crime
scene
tape
in
in
other
items
that
are
left
behind
in
a
typical
crime
scene.
If
there's
a
biohazard,
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
as
far
back
as
I
can
remember,
has
had
a
great
work
in
partnership
with
the
Minneapolis
Fire
Department,
where
it
supervisor
at
the
crime
scene
or
the
highest-ranking
officer
at
a
crime
scene.
E
Good
afternoon,
chairman
and
members
of
the
committee,
so
once
we
get
the
call
on
the
fire
end
and
actually
our
procedure
is
called
a
trauma
scene
cleanup
because
oftentimes
we
clean.
We
have
to
clean
up
bodily
fluids
for
victims
that
were
necessarily
victims
of
a
crime,
but
once
we
get
caught
out,
we
report
to
the
police
incident
commander
whoever's
in
charge
to
make
sure
that
the
scene
is
ready
to
be
cleaned
up,
that
they're
done,
processing
the
scene
and
collecting
evidence
and
all
of
those
things
so
that
we're
not
cleaning
it
up
prematurely.
E
Next
week,
we
try
to
restrict
restrict
public
access
to
the
area
as
much
as
possible
put
on
our
proper
protective
equipment.
If
it
just
requires
a
simple
wash
down
with
water,
we
use
our
hose
lines
to
wash
it
down,
but
we've
also
added
an
element,
and
this
is
new
to
the
policy.
We've
added
a
bleach
and
scrub
brushes
and
items
that
we
can
use
to
do
a
more
thorough
cleaning
so
that
going
forward,
we
won't
have
these
incidences
of
a
blood
drop
left
here.
They're.
E
A
F
F
My
breaking
point
came
when
I
was
standing
on
a
corner.
31St
Colfax
Sunday
at
6:30,
looked
like
red
and
lasses,
where
our
murder
victim
fell
at
all
fifteen
minutes
into
Sunday
morning.
He
was
shot
six
times.
Nobody
thought
from
this
side
MPD
to
call
the
side
MFD
to
do
the
work.
Now
we
had
a
similar
circumstance
when
the
mother
of
three
was
gunned
down.
She
fell
out
and
died.
Xxx
a
Newton
and
I
was
there
to
hold
down
that
corner
again
with
kg
Wilson
hours
after
it
was
the
next
day.
Actually
after
she
died.
F
Well,
nobody
cleaned
up
that
crime
scene
either.
I
walked
to
the
fire
station,
rang
the
doorbell
fire
beside
I'm
fired
that
battalion
fire
chief.
That
was
on
duty
to
come
and
clean
that
crime
scene.
They
did.
They
were
there.
They
got
there
within
two
or
three
minutes.
They
took
care
of
the
work.
This
responsibility
shouldn't
fall
on
civilians.
People
have
the
misfortune
of
being
at
those
scenes
to
make
the
observations
last
fall.
There
was
a
particularly
tragic
event
fellow
shot
in
the
head.
Well,
we
know,
what's
in
our
heads,
okay,
I!
F
Don't
need
to
explain
further,
but
it
was
a
particularly
gruesome
crime
scene.
Beside
fire
was
there
they
use
their
halls,
but
they
host.
What
was
inside
of
the
fellows
skull
up
onto
that
property's
cedar
fence
into
their
lawn
and
down
the
block
they
left
and
I
took
pictures
of
that
particularly
grisly
aftermath.
After
they
cleared
the
scene
they
rolled
away
and
while
channel
11,
without
all
the
media,
to
show
what
I'm
calling
failed
policy
now
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
realize
this,
but
the
only
tension
given
to
crime-scene
cleanup
is
on
this
side.
F
It's
in
the
police
procedure,
manual
and
I
talked
to
our
city
attorney
and
he
tells
me
well:
it's
not
policy
Phil,
it's
guidance,
so
I
would
ask
all
of
you
to
talk
to
the
city
attorney
and
find
out
why
this
side
isn't
connecting
to
this
site.
Well,
it's
because
there
is
no
policy,
there
is
no
protocol
and
that
task
falls
on
the
square
shoulders
of
the
people
in
this
Public
Safety
Committee,
and
you
have
to
bring
that
forward
to
the
City
Council
and
develop
a
protocol.
F
Now,
based
on
my
observations
over
15
years,
failure
is
just
kind
of
the
status
quo
where,
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
this
side,
fire
department,
side
well
they're
out
here
now
candidly
tell
me
Phil
we're
not
equipped
to
do
this
work,
we're
worried
about
blood-borne
pathogens
getting
into
our
eyes.
We
can't
pick
this
up
the
fire
department,
our
fire
crews.
Well,
their
training
doesn't
include.
You
know.
Coming
out
there
and
hazmat
suits
to
pick
up
our
crime
victims,
which
sometimes
are
literally
splattered
from
people
standing
on
top
of
them
shoot.
F
Iam
and
their
body
parts
are
drilled
into
the
blacktop
pavement
sidewalks
people's
grassy
boulevards,
and
this
side
they
don't
have
tools
to
pick
them
up.
Mr.
Murphy,
can
you
wrap
it
up?
Well,
I
believe
crime
scene
clean-up
should
be
contracted
out
to
private
enterprise
and
add
it
to
the
cost
of
affordable
living
in
North,
Minneapolis
and
now
I'll
say
this:
isn't
an
earthing.
The
apples
problem
I've
been
downtown
twice
this
summer,
once
after
shooting
and
once
after
a
stabbing
well,
the
same
problem
exists:
downtown
one
fella
was
sitting
at
a
bus.
F
Stop
and
I
asked
him
if
he
knew
it.
The
red
globular
content
was
on
the
sidewalk
at
the
bus.
Stop
kitty-corner
from
the
fifth
rail
transit
station,
I
told
him
a
woman
was
stabbed
right
here,
and
this
is
part
of
her
well,
he
got
up
and
he
became
nauseous
and
he
walked
over
to
the
parking
lot
fence
and
he
threw
up,
and
that
was
downtown
and
now
there's
another
stabbing
in
the
Auggie's
parking
lot
where
the
police
precinct
is
back
in
there.
Well,
there
was
a
bunch
of
blood
back
there,
and
that
was
days
later.
F
So
it's
not
just
another
thing
that
was
problem.
This
is
a
city
problem
and
it
has
to
be
addressed
has
to
be
addressed.
You
guys
have
to
instigate
an
active
protocol,
a
procedure
where
it
comes
with
four
console
and
it's
put
into
the
vernacular
of
the
city
where
oh
gee
well,
there's
problem
the
police
then
have
a
policy,
a
policy
to
follow,
got
guidance
in
their
handbook,
a
policy
and
maybe
maybe
not.
Maybe
it
includes
a
fire
department
but
I
believe
it
should
be
let
to
private
contractor.
Thank.
A
D
A
And
DC
Vulcans,
you
know
there
was
a
controversy
this
weekend
over.
You
know
what
happened
at
about
30th
or
31st
and
Colfax.
There
I
know
that
you
know.
Just
yesterday,
you
were
at
the
scene
and
he
kind
of
just
walk
us
through
what
happened.
Let's
say
you
know
from
from
Saturday
when
the
shooting
happened
to
the
crime-scene
cleanup
a
couple
of
times
in
between
where
fire
came
in
to
clean
up
the
scene
and
then,
lastly,
when
you
got
there
just
yesterday,
okay.
D
First
of
all,
the
crime
scene
until
a
victim
that
was
shot
in
the
head
and
landed
in
one
spot,
there
was
a
blood
matter
that
needed
to
be
cleaned
up.
The
officers
called
the
fire
department
to
come
out
and
remediate
that
problem.
What
I
spoke
to
our
investigators,
who
the
following
day
arrived
at
the
crime
scene?
They
commented
they
knew
that
the
scene
had
been
washed
down
by
the
fire
department,
because
the
street
was
still
wet
at
the
time
when
they
got
there
to
do
a
secondary
walkthrough
of
the
crime
scene.
D
E
D
I
could
have
a
better
understanding
what
it
was,
and
what
was
pointed
out
to
me
by
mr.
Murphy
was
several
stains
within
the
curb
line.
The
sewer
curb
line
of
the
of
the
west
side
of
the
street,
and
there
was
several
different
stains
along
that
curb
line.
Knowing
from
what
I
know
of
the
incident
of
the
crime
that
I
surmised
to
myself,
that
that
the
pattern
of
that
staining
is
a
product
of
the
wash
down
that
it
was
flowed
with
the
water
and
just
settled
before
before.
D
A
A
D
Know,
like
I
said
before
it's
very
concentrated
but
like
I
said
before,
was
that
since
I
spent
12
years
in
the
Homicide
Unit
as
an
investigator,
also
and
as
far
back
as
I
can
remember,
working
with
the
Minneapolis
Fire
Department
to
do
claim,
crime-scene
remediation
I
was
never
aware
of
as
an
investigator
or
or
in
my
role
as
a
commander
of
this
problem.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
ever
heard
of
the
problem
with
the
crime
scene.
It's
not
being
cleaned
up
adequately
and
I've,
always
known
that
with
the
fire
department.
D
A
E
I
think
we
are
now
like
I
mentioned
earlier.
Most
of
it
is
done
with
with
the
hose
line.
You
know,
saya
pressure,
hose
line,
we've
added
bleach
and
scrub
brushes
to
to
augment
that
hose
line.
So
I
don't
think,
there's
much
more
than
that.
That
would
be
required
to
clean
up
one
of
these
type
of
scenes.
A
E
So
we've
put
together
a
cleanup
kit
that
were
actually
putting
out
into
the
fire
stations
right
now
to
augment
just
using
the
hose
line
as
we've
done
in
the
past.
It
includes
a
five
gallon
bucket.
It
includes
a
gallon
of
bleach
and
includes
a
spray
bottle
which
which
we
create
a
solution
of
bleach
and
water
solution,
and
it
also
includes
the
scrub
brushes
that
I've
mentioned
with
the
long
handle
that
can
be
removed
to
either
you
know
clean
street
or
if
we
need
to
clean
something
a
little
higher.
E
A
E
I
would
say:
if
police
have
already
left
the
scene,
then
they
might
as
well
just
call
9-1-1
and
and
get
the
fire
department
out
there
we're
the
ones.
That's
gonna
actually
end
up
going
out
there
and
cleaning
the
scene
I
mean
our
main
concern
is
that
the
police
are
done
processing
the
scene
once
they've
left
I
know
that
they're
doing
processing
see
okay.
B
E
Should
have
I'm
sorry
to
cut
you
off,
I
should
have
responded
to
that.
So,
first
of
all,
it
will
say
that
we
don't
have
a
policy.
We
do
now.
That's
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
today.
I
think
it's
in
front
of
you.
Second
of
all,
we
are
equipped
to
deal
with
body
substance.
Isolation
we
deal
with
it
every
day
is
part
of
our
medical
practices
and
there's
no
difference
for
cleaning
up
blood
that
has
been
spilled
in
the
street
versus
blood.
That
is
actually
on
a
person
that
we're
treating
so
we
do
have
equipment.
E
B
E
A
Chief
can
I
just
ask
another
question.
You
know
this.
This
idea
of
like
contracting
out
a
company
to
do
crime
scene
clean-up,
yeah
I've,
heard
a
rumor
about
you
know
in
the
past
how
some
firefighters
have
worked
on
those
crime
scene,
clean
ups,
as
teams
as
well
so
I
mean
essentially
whether
they're
working
outside
or
inside
the
fire
department.
I
mean
you
guys
are
the
ones
that
are
cleaning
these
crime
scenes.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
yes,.
E
A
E
It's
just
for
clarity,
more
than
anything,
we've
been
doing
it
for
so
long
I've
been
here
22
years,
we've
been
doing
this
the
whole
time
I've
been
here,
I'm
sure
we've
been
doing
it
long
before
I
got
here.
We've
always
done
it
kind
of
as
a
courtesy
to
our
partners
and
so
I
think
really
yeah.
Like
I
said.
The
policy
is
really
in
place
to
just
create
clarity
and
have
something
in
writing
so
that,
if
there's
any
question
as
to
what
the
policy
is
going
to
be,
then
everybody
notes.
E
A
I
have
a
question
for
the
city
attorney
mr.
Osborn
there's
been
this
I
guess
myth
out
there
that
these
guidelines
or
policies
that
we
have,
whether
in
MPD
or
whether
it's
in
the
firefighters,
is
it's.
It's
not
good
and
it
doesn't
have
any
real
impact
of
where
it's
not
that
strong
is
law.
Can
you
explain
you
know
in
terms
of
guidelines
or
policies,
I
mean
what
type
of
force
they
have
well.
G
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
that's
what
a
policy
is
is
guidance
to
the
department
who
whose
policy
it
is
on
how
to
address
a
certain
situation.
No
policy
is
followed
100%
of
the
time
or
very
few
are
anyway,
but
the
policy
exists
to
let
the
public
know.
This
is
how
we
aim
to
address
this
particular
issue,
and
a
policy
is
guidance.
I
mean
that
those
two
things
are
not
inconsistent
with
each
other.
Thank.
A
You
and
to
tenor
I
just
one
last
thing:
yeah
I
saw
the
news.
You
said
something
to
the
effect
of
like
you
know.
You
hope
that
this
type
of
thing
never
happens
again.
Is
that
pretty
much
what
you
believe
there
gonna
happen
nothing
going
forward,
and
you
know
I'm
yeah,
you
know.
Obviously
you
know
we're
humans.
We're
gonna,
make
some
mistakes.
You
know
we're
gonna
forget
some
things,
or
some
things
going
to
happen
is
what
DC
falcons
talked
about.
In
terms
of
you
know,
sometimes
there's
gonna
be
runoff.
A
E
A
H
You
mister
chair,
I,
appreciate
the
sensitivity
of
of
cleaning
up
crime
scenes
for
all
the
ways
that
we've
discussed
it
there's
a
lot
of
healing
for
the
community
that
needs
to
take
place
after
something
like
that.
H
My
specific
example
is
walking
my
son
to
his
first
day
of
school
and
taking
a
particular
nasty
spill
myself
that
involves
a
lot
of
blood
and
ultimately
stitches
whose
responsibility
is
that
to
clean
up
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
that
house.
That's
way
too
far
away
for
me
to
pull
a
bucket
of
water
out
for
my
own
house
to
go
clean
it
up,
but
yet
I
respect
it.
You
know.
E
E
That's
a
great
question:
well
if
it
involves
bodily
fluids
and
you
put
a
call
in
for
service,
we're
probably
going
to
be
the
ones
to
get
the
call
as
I
seen
we
clean
up
many
drama
scenes,
such
as
what
you
described:
car
accidents,
other
industrial
accidents,
things
like
that.
The
reason
that
is
is
because,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
do
have
the
protective
equipment
to
protect
us
from
body
substances,
and
you
know,
as
opposed
to
Public
Works,
who
does
not
so
in.
B
E
H
A
Right,
do
we
have
any
other
questions?
Members
I
had
seen,
none
I
will.
This
is
a
receive
and
file
item,
and
so
I
will
just
move
to
receive
and
file
this
item
any
discussion
all
right,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
hi,
any
opposed
all
right.
The
motion
carries
and
with
that
we
have
disposed
of
our
business.
So
we
will
adjourn
this
meeting.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
very
up.
Do
it?
Thank
you.
