Motivation for Local Government Corruption

OSHA regulations inadvertently created conditions for local government corruption. Because a muti-million dollar biohazard cleaning industry grew. some cornoner, medical examiner, and county administrator technicians found cronyism profitable in the crime scene cleanup industry.

Prior to bloodborne pathogen legislation, little incentive existed for county employees to refer victims of crime scenes, suicides, and unattended deaths. With bloodborne pathogen legislation, some civil servants (coroner, medical examiner, county administrator technicians, police/sheriff, fire fighters) became brokers for crime scene cleanup companies. Some civil servants, dispite conflicts of interest, opened their own crime scene cleanup companies.

Unsuspecting families of the deceased became targets for broakered deals. Sometimes the to crony crime scene cleanup companies. These dealings generated great sums of personal income for corrupted county employess, albeit illegally. Victimized families become victims again at the hands of their own local government

Most important, the risk of exposure remained nearly non-existent for corrupt local employees, until my Internet marketing service exposed death administration cronyism. (County cronies need not worry, they remain quite safe in their corruption. I'll explain why another time.)

Example of rewards versus risks:

Indications

A high Internet marketing footprint returns few or no local calls for cleaning service.

I repeat myself below for a reason.

A Disconnect

Corrupt county employees direct family victims to corrupt crime scene cleanup companies. This is fraud. As a result victims do not reach the Internet or the free crime scene cleanup market economy.

County death administrators' relationship with crime scene cleanup companies deprives families during the most vulnerable moments. As objects of fraud, a family's insurance policies fuel the engine of crime scene cleanup cronyism. Individuals seldom have the thousands of dollars for crime scene cleanup demanded by crony crime scene cleanup companies. Thus, getting into the insurance industry's deep pockets becomes the singlemost goal.

At times county employees refer family death survivors to legitimate crime scene cleanup companies. We find this in many small death scenes or other crime scene cleanup jobs without insurance.

If those in need of an Los Alamitos crime scene cleanup company made it to the Internet, they would find my business and others, but here I receive, perhaps, one small crime scene cleanup job per year, and even fewer. These jobs pay less, of course. TOP

How Our Local Government Commits Consumer Fraud

It takers a seconds for a coroner or administrator's employee to quietly direct a grieving family to a crony crime scene cleanup company. We can see how difficult proving this subtle manipulation becomes because of its sublty under color of authority.

We need to ask the critical question about Los Alamitos, "Why do the county's homicide, suicide, and unattended death" survivors not use the Internet to find professional crime scene cleanup help? They obviously do not.

Visit this page and its links and find out for yourself. I have dozens of web pages in Los Alamitos related to crime scene cleanup, biohazard cleanup, blood cleanup, death cleanup, and suicide cleanup. Scroll down the page and pretend these web sites belong to many companies, not my company. We would think that grieviing families would find their way to one of these web sites, but not so. Don't forget to come back and read more here.

Internet for Crime Scene Cleanup Marketing

With a large population, Los Alamitos has more people to connect to the Internet than rural areas. Given the move from paper to Internet information, we know well enough the majority of people prefer the Internet's speed and precision to the Yellow Page Book. Without county employee intervention between consumers and the Internet, many Los Alamitos survivors of homicide, suicide, and unattended death would use the Internet. After all, we do not find crime scene cleanup companies in malls or on Main Street.

So where do consumers of crime scene cleaning find help in Los Alamitos?

My Explanation

Again, consumers of crime scene cleanup services find direction from the coroner's office and the county administrator's office. How else do we explain that the Los Alamitos crime scene cleanup company with the biggest Internet footprint receives next to zero cleaning jobs in Los Alamitos? This curiosity in consumer fraud goes back over five years. I've yet to receive a telephone call for those in need of a multiple death scene cleanup, let alone clean one.

Crony cleaning companies come with high price tags and corrupt county employees reserve these for friends, crony companies, or their own companies. Otherwise, I would receive offers to bid from property owners and victims the majority of the time families need biohazard cleaning help.

Explanation One

What's going on? How do the county's employees know which jobs to refer to friends and their own companies? A three-car garage often tips off coroner's employees that the death scene housed someone with homeowner's insurance. This property becomes a low risk, high profit referral or property to clean for insurance money and insurance fraud possibilities.

Explanation Two

How do corrupt employees keep Eddie Evans and others like him out of the crime scene cleanup loop in Oranage County?

Again, when crony employees have face-to-face contact with the decedent's family members, the illicit information changes hands. The victim, family members of the decedent, have no idea other cleaning companies do the same work for less. Likewise, when corrupt employees take out-of-state telephone calls from relatives of homicides, suicides, and unattended deaths in Los Alamitos, they refer crony crime scene cleanup companies to the calling families.

How many corrupt Orange County employees?

The number of crony employees working in any county government office must remain a fraction of the employee population. The more employees aware of cronyism, the greater the risk of exposure. The more employees connected to crony dealings, the less money for all.

However, it is the case that county employees, corrupt or not, will "circle the wagons" when an imagined threat from outside their cubicle circle threatens the status-quo. ("Watch my back.")

Also, new employees are at risk of intimidation by cronies with seniority, rank, and privilege. Older employees go-along-to-get-along. Older crony employees become supervisors. Now employees with higher morals and higher standards of ethics become a threat and at risk of reprisals from above.

For those employees wishing to do the right thing, whistle blowing returns few rewards and much ridicule in some circumstances. I worked for Orange County for 11 years and I know about this particular feature of county employment all too well.

In Orange County whistle blowers become "rats" in the midst of those they expose because few employees receive termination notices. Small groups emerge with agenedas of their own, resulting in subtle power plays against the unsuspecting new comers and resolute. TOP

No risk attaches to cronyism in the coroner's office, the deputy coroner once advised me: "If you think someone would get fired over this you're wrong," or something to this effect.

Consequences for Victimized Victims

At times I charge half and even a quarter as much as my competitors. This includes traveling far distances to clean. So the public loses again because of cronyism. Imagine paying five-thousand dollars to have a suicide cleaned up when another company would have done the same work for nine-hundred dollars.

God help the tax payers because the county will not.

Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.
