COVID-19: A Close Look at the Latest Clark County Numbers

Vancouver — Last week, Clark County submitted an application to be approved to move into Phase 2 of Governor Jay Inslee’s recovery plan. An outbreak at a local fruit processing plant put that application on hold, and local health officials continue to investigate the situation, and are actively working to keep the community safe through contact tracing and other methods.

Law Enforcement

Crime data updates from Clark County Sheriff’s Office for Week 20 includes the following:

• Harassment Calls fell for the first time in four weeks of unusually high call numbers, but still remains slightly higher than normal.
• Brandishing Calls (knives and other weapons) are again much higher than usual for this time of year.
• Restraining Orders remain higher than normal and are typical, where offenders are attempting to contact victims who have a legal right to be left alone.
• Auto Prowl calls are again on the higher slide of normal, but only about half of the calls are resulting in actual police reports. Citizens are opting to fill out online reports but aren’t following through.
