The releasing authority is the investigating agency, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office for most incidents in town, with the county coroner where a death is involved. Their timeline is theirs: hours for a straightforward scene, longer where an investigation is active. Cleanup cannot lawfully or practically start before that release, and the professional pattern is to use the interval for the insurer call and the assessment scheduling, so the interval is not wasted. Any operator willing to enter before release is disqualified by that willingness.
