The Capital City Crime Scene Story
Becoming New Zealand’s Most Trusted Forensic Cleaning Specialists
From one van and a mission to becoming New Zealand’s most trusted forensic cleaning specialists.
Capital City Crime Scene began in 2021, built from the ground up with the belief that there had to be a better way to handle what’s left behind when tragedy strikes.
After more than a decade working with some of the leading international forensic cleaning companies and personally training others in the industry, Rob saw a critical gap in how trauma scenes were being treated, not just physically, but emotionally. Families were being left to clean up the worst moments of their lives. People were walking back into spaces they should never have had to face again.
So we did something about it.
With a single vehicle, a head full of knowledge, and a heart set on changing the standard, Capital City Crime Scene was launched in Wellington. What started small quickly grew because when you do the work with care, honesty, and skill, word travels fast.
A Quiet Professionalism in a Loud World
We’ve never chased attention. But we’ve earned trust. Since our founding, we’ve been called to over 1,000 scenes across New Zealand, from unattended deaths and suicides to hoarding, accidents, and biohazard remediation.
Every job is handled with the same care: no shortcuts, no judgment, no sensationalism. That commitment hasn’t gone unnoticed.
We’ve been recognised with:
- Most Trusted Forensic Specialists — 2023 & 2024
- Global Recognition Award — 2024
- Most Dynamic Forensic Service award—The APAC Business Times
But at the core, we’re still just doing what we set out to do:
Show up when it’s hardest. Clean what others can’t. Care when others won’t.
Our Team Understands
Why We Still Do It
Because we believe in dignity, even in death.
Because no one should have to clean up after trauma on their own.
Because silence doesn’t help anyone heal.
Through our work and campaigns like No More Silence, we continue to push for awareness around
mental health, suicide, and abuse. 100% of our merch profits go directly into supporting real change.
We’re here to help. Quietly. Respectfully. Every time.
