Answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Start with the agency that responded
A cleanup company will ask one thing before any other: has the property been released? Only the agency that responded can answer.
Inside the city
Boynton Beach Police are based at 2100 High Ridge Road. The department gives 561-732-8116 as its non-emergency number and keeps its lobby open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Go there, or phone, with your case number to ask about a report or about items an officer took.
West of the city
A Boynton Beach postal address west of the city is often in unincorporated county. The Sheriff's Office covers those communities through its District 6, West Boynton Beach, whose office number is (561) 688-4860 (Sheriff contacts).
While you wait for the home to be released
- Keep the door to the room closed and the air conditioning on.
- Do not let a well-meaning neighbor start cleaning.
- Find the insurance policy for the home, if there is one, and the agent's number.
- Make a short list of belongings in the room that must be saved.
- Decide who will meet the company, if it will not be you.
After a violent crime, also ask the officer for the victim advocate. Palm Beach County Victim Services helps with the state compensation application, and its 24-hour helpline is 561-833-7273.
Concrete-block houses and what they mean for cleanup
If the house is concrete block on a slab, with terrazzo or tile, the structure itself seldom absorbs much. The trouble is in what sits on top: carpet laid over the terrazzo, wood baseboards, a bed, a recliner. Ask the company to tell you which of those it expects to take away, and whether the floor beneath can be kept.
If the house has been closed up without air conditioning, mention it. Heat and humidity change what a crew brings.

Nobody in the family has to clean this room
Wait until the officers and the medical examiner's investigator have finished. Shut the door on the room, let the air conditioning run, and pick up the phone once you feel able to talk it through.
