Biohazard cleanup in Goodlettsville, Tennessee

Cleanup in Goodlettsville: what shapes the work

Goodlettsville is a separately incorporated city with its own police department, even though part of it lies within Davidson County. That matters when you need a report number: the Goodlettsville Police Department, not Metro Nashville police, handles scenes inside the city.

Retail and office buildings around Rivergate and the corporate campuses along I-65 are typically handled through property management, while the city's older neighborhoods are mostly single-family homes from the mid-twentieth century onward.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the Goodlettsville Police Department responds; outside them, the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
2. Do not clean anything yet. Wait until the scene is released, and avoid household cleaners on blood or fluids.
3. Close off the area. Shut the door, keep children and pets out, and turn off fans blowing toward the room.
4. Write down the case or report number and the agency name. Your insurer and the property owner may need it.
5. Call us when you are ready. We will explain what is involved before anything is agreed.
