Ex Police Officer Starts a Business Cleaning Crime Scenes

26 Jan 2015 10:40 AM | IJCSA - (Administrator)

As a police officer, Laura Spaulding tried to clean up the streets of Kansas City, Mo. Then she was inspired to clean up crime in a very different way.

Ms. Spaulding saw many methamphetamine labs and crime scenes during her seven years on the force. “I used to think, ‘I wonder what happens to these when we’re done?’ ” she says.

Then, one Christmas, she responded to a shooting at a family gathering. The mother, who wasn’t involved in the shooting, wondered how she could get her house cleaned up after the authorities left. ”She was under the false impression that law enforcement cleans up the crime scenes,” Ms. Spaulding says.

Feeling bad about the woman’s plight, and seeing an opportunity, Ms. Spaulding decided to make an unusual offer: She would clean the place herself, and get reimbursed from the woman’s homeowners insurance.
