🚨SCAM ALERT🚨 VPD has recently received information that someone impersonating a VPD officer is calling individuals and threatening to arrest them unless they send money to have their case dismissed.

Please don’t fall for this - it's a scam! Never provide financial information over the phone to individuals you don’t know, even if the caller ID looks legitimate or the person sounds believable. The Federal Trade Commission has lots of great information on how to avoid scams, including government impersonation scams.

PUBLIC HEALTH INVESTIGATING TUBERCULOSIS CASE ASSOCIATED WITH VANCOUVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

News Release from Clark Co. WA Communications

Posted on: August 18th, 2023 12:28 PM
Vancouver, Wash. – Clark County Public Health recently determined that a person associated with Minnehaha Elementary School has been diagnosed with infectious tuberculosis (TB).

The person who has TB spent time in Minnehaha Elementary School prior to the beginning of summer break. To protect the person’s privacy, Public Health is not disclosing how the person is associated with the school or additional details about the case.

Public Health is working closely with Vancouver Public Schools and Minnehaha Elementary School as the investigation continues. Parents and staff were notified of the TB case by email on Friday, Aug. 18. Public Health is identifying students and staff who may have been in close contact with the person who has TB and will notify those individuals directly in the next week. Public Health is recommending testing only for those individuals identified as potential close contacts; Public Health does not recommend testing for all students and staff.

While the spread of TB in a school setting is possible, it is not common. Public Health currently has no evidence of additional cases at the school.

A person who has infectious TB can spread the bacteria that causes TB to others who share the same air frequently or for prolonged periods. When a person who is infected does not have symptoms or evidence of TB disease, this is called latent TB infection. About 10% of people with latent TB infection will develop TB disease in the future.

Testing is needed to determine if someone is infected with the bacteria that causes TB. Early identification and treatment of people with latent TB infection can prevent them from developing TB disease in the future.

For additional information about TB, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

The juvenile male is currently being booked into the Clark County Juvenile Detention Hall (JDH).

Several others were detained from the residence. This investigation is ongoing, and a search warrant is in progress at a residence of interest in the neighborhood. The SW Washington Regional SWAT team will be assisting with the search warrant service due to the involvement of fi****ms.
