Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or wiping it can release particles. It should be handled in protective gear and disinfected, which is why crews treat old stains as seriously as fresh ones.
No. Police collect evidence and then release the scene. Blood, bodily fluids and fingerprint powder stay behind. You, as the owner or manager, then book crime scene cleaning with a professional team.
The crew starts by finding every spot fluids reached, including under flooring and behind trim. Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed. Hard surfaces are disinfected, and the air and odor are treated last.

The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.
Usually not. Many owners set up access by phone, with a key holder or property manager. Tell the team who has the keys and whether the building must stay open around the work.
