  • Concordia Parish Reports First Case Of COVID-19 Coronavirus

    Concordia Parish Reports First Case Of COVID-19 Coronavirus

    Patient Receiving Treatment In Mississippi Hospital

    Official Statement from the Concordia Parish Office Of Homeland Security:

    This is the first case that has been reported for Concordia Parish.  We do understand that there are a lot of eyes on Concordia Parish at this time in relation to how Concordia Parish handles this situation. The Concordia Parish Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness has verified with the Director of the Louisiana Department of Health & Hospitals that all policies/procedures and guidelines set forth by the Louisiana Department of Health & Hospitals and the CDC are being followed and have been in place in preparation for a positive COVID-19 case in Concordia Parish.  The Louisiana Department of Health & Hospitals and GOHSEP has done a tremendous job in keeping all OEP Offices in the Parish up to date with any and all changes in policies and procedures in preparation for this event.

    Concordia Parish Mayors have worked well in conjunction with the OEP Office in combating the spread of the COVID-19 Virus in Concordia Parish.  Communication has been flowing from LDH and GOHSEP through the OEP Office and has been getting disbursed to all the Mayors, Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs, Hospitals, Home Health Agencies, and EMS in through out the Parish.  I can say that all of that leadership in Concordia Parish has bene preparing for this.  It has been several times the comment has been made “It is not a matter of if, but when”.  We are asking the public to take the spread of this virus serious.  It is the position of the Concordia Parish Office of Homeland Security not to cause fear, hysteria, or panic due to the threat of the COVID-19 virus, but encourages the public to be well informed and take the “stay at home order” seriously, this is not the time to become complacent.  I am very proud of our Parish and I am extremely thankful that the leadership of Concordia Parish is working so well together in keeping the public informed, and in being vigilant in their efforts to stop the spread of this disease.  Stopping the wide spread of this disease is not a “one man show”, it is going to take the efforts of not just all of the leadership in the Parish, but also the residents of the Parish.

    No further information is available at this time

    Thank You,

    Timothy Vanier

    OEP Director Concordia Parish

  • SCAM ALERT From The Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Department

    SCAM ALERT From The Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Department

    Scammers call and say you have an active warrant

    There is a new scam affecting residents of Concordia Parish.  The Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office made the announcement on their official Facebook page.

    The Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office has received numerous reports about someone calling residents of Concordia Parish claiming to be “Detective Wade” with the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office and advising the individuals they have active warrants and will need to send money through gift cards & money orders to take care of the fake warrants. THIS IS A SCAM. No one works with the CPSO under that name nor would CPSO ever require warrants to be paid for with money orders or gift cards over the phone. If this person contacts you or has contacted you, please call the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office at 318-336-5231

    Stay informed and never give your personal or financial information out over the phone to someone who says you’re in trouble with the law or the government.
