After approximately six years as an officer with the Richmond Police Department (RPD), David Woods started working to help families grieving the loss of a loved one by stepping in after first responders have left the scene. Now a King William County resident, Woods started Eminent Forensic Cleaning just over a year ago, focusing on the biohazard left behind in the wake of homicides, suicides, fatal overdoses and other crimes throughout the Commonwealth. "Working in the City, I responded to a lot of homicides and other death investigations, and after we'd leave the scene, I noticed that the family was held responsible for what was left behind from the deceased, and I noticed that they weren't getting the help that they need," Woods said. "Families were being held responsible for cleaning up this biohazard of loved ones. Not only for them, it's a health risk, but it can also be very traumatizing." https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/richmond/former-richmond-police-officer-turned-forensic-cleaner-speaks-out-on-rising-gun-violence/
