About Amdecon
In the summer of 1999, Michael Tillman read an article in the Dallas Morning News about kind-hearted volunteers who took on the difficult task of cleaning up homicide, suicide, or human decomposition scenes so the affected families would not have to.
Like most people, Mr. Tillman had never really thought about what happens at one of these scenes after the body is removed and the authorities leave. He thought it was reprehensible that our society would leave these families with the gruesome task of cleaning up after one of these events, so he founded Amdecon with one goal in mind – to help these families by forming a company that specialized in crime scene cleanup and which operated 24 hours a day every day of the year.
Between 1999 and 2004, Amdecon continued to grow as we opened several branch offices in other parts of the country and our reputation as an industry leader continued to grow also.
Our clients included Fortune 500 companies, major railways, international airports, municipalities around the nation, thousands of families, and all major insurance carriers. But even as we continued our decontamination services we had people asking us how they could become CTS Decon biorecovery technicians or start their own crime scene clean up biorecovery business, and in 2004 we held our first training class open to the public.
This course was very successful and students from around the world came to learn from us and benefit from our years of experience, our OSHA credentials, and our successful business model.
But we still had people calling saying they really wanted to attend our training and get into this business but for various reasons couldn’t. They either couldn’t afford the expenses (air fare, hotel, rental car, eating out every night) and the class tuition, or they just could not take the time off to attend.
After realizing that for as many people as could come to our class there were hundreds who couldn’t, in 2007 Amdecon created our CTS Decon training DVD, which continues to sell around the globe today. In 2011, utilizing the Amdecon Virtual Portal System™, we are able to offer our crime and trauma scene cleanup course online. Now within minutes of signing up, a student can immediately begin their training from anywhere in the world 24 hours a day.
This is a very rewarding industry both emotionally and financially. Whether your motives are altruistic or merely financial everyone can benefit from the Amdecon Distance Learning Programs. Amdecon is helping thousands of people improve their lives by teaching them how to own and run their own successful crime and trauma scene cleaning company. This has made a profound difference for many people who were devastated in the recent economic depression and needed to find other ways to support their families.
Mr. Tillman has retired from field work and is concentrating on training. He is now dedicating all of his efforts to training. In just a few short years, he has grown Amdecon from a one-man, field-work operation to a world-renowned training source, having trained over 2000 students in 18 countries (as of February 28, 2012) who are making an important difference to families and communities around the globe while making good money while doing it.
Amdecon is an IICRC approved school.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us today, we look forward to working with you now and in the future to serve your CTS Decon Biorecovery, IICRC, and RIA training needs.
