Often yes. The crew can close off one area, use barriers and plan around staff and customers. Tell the team about opening hours and entrances so the work causes as little disruption as possible.
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.
That is up to law enforcement and the case, and it can vary. Cleanup comes after the release. The length of the cleanup itself depends on the size of the scene and how far fluids spread.
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews keep what they see private and do not discuss the job with others.
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.
Only after law enforcement releases the scene. Ask the investigating agency directly. Until then, stay out of the area and do not move or clean anything.
