RECOVERED STOLEN VEHICLES / DRUG VEHICLES
We are trusted professionals in remediation, specializing in the cleanup of homicide, suicide, hoarding, accident, and crime scenes. We handle both biohazards—like blood and bodily fluids—and chemical contamination from fentanyl, meth, and other illicit drugs in homes, buildings, and vehicles.
Stolen Recovered Vehicles – Drug Testing & Decontamination
Approximately 90,000 vehicles are stolen in Canada each year—amounting to one car every six minutes and resulting in over $1.2 billion in insurance claims (securitepublique.gc.ca). The system works hard to recover and return these vehicles to their owners, however, hidden dangers can remain.
The majority of theft-recovered vehicles are frequently damaged in some way, some with compromised interior environments posing serious health risks. Trauma Scene comprehensively inspects, drug tests, and decontaminates/sterilizes these kinds of vehicles.
Trauma Scene understands the risks of theft-recovered vehicles and the need to alert owners, insurers and transport services to the high danger of drug exposure and possible irreversible health effects. These vehicles are unsafe to enter until they’ve been tested and decontaminated to Trauma Scene’s industry-leading standard, trusted for over 20 years.
We use advanced, proven procedures for testing and cleaning all types of vehicles, including RVs.
Trauma Scene has built an industry-leading remediation standard through our proud partnerships with insurance and law enforcement agencies. We’ve also fostered a culture of safety and education, helping our partners understand the serious risks posed by invisible contaminants.
We are the only company using advanced scanning technology to detect and test for the latest and most potent drugs coming across our borders. We issue decontamination certificates for each vehicle in our care, recognized by judicial and regulatory authorities as proof of proper remediation.
Our vehicle decontamination process includes removing the front seats to allow clearer access to the most commonly contaminated areas. Each vehicle goes through a detailed cleaning process to return the interior environment to a neutral, hygienic state.
Heavily contaminated vehicles may test positive for illicit substances in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling) system. We assess each situation and provide vehicle owners with options to remediate contaminated HVAC systems.
Providing these services as the leader in the industry, we’d like to relay a few reasons why having your vehicle certified by Trauma Scene is the preferred way go:
