Who comes, and who to ask later

Inside city limits, Fort Pierce Police respond. Their main station is at 920 South U.S. 1, and the non-emergency number is 772-467-6800 (City of Fort Pierce).

A Fort Pierce mailing address does not always mean the city. Outside the limits, the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office responds instead.

If you are not sure which agency came, call the county 911 center's non-emergency number, 772-465-5770. It dispatches for both, and for Port St. Lucie Police (St. Lucie County). Have the address and the date ready, and ask when the home will be released.

The medical examiner is here

Where

The District 19 office is at 2500 South 35th Street, Building I. Phone 772-464-7378, weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. (St. Lucie County)

What to expect

If the office takes the case, the examination typically takes 24 to 48 hours. The person is then released to the funeral home the family picks.

Before the company arrives

  • Keep the room closed and the air conditioning steady.
  • Write down the case number the officer gave you.
  • Decide who will let the company in and sign off on the work.
  • Make a short list of things to keep: papers, photos, keepsakes.

If it was a violent crime, Florida's victim compensation program may repay the cleanup. Who pays explains the deadlines.

Ready when you are

Call when the police and the medical examiner have finished and you are ready to talk about the cleanup. A company will ask what happened and where, then explain what it would do.
