VEVAY, Ind. — A FOX19 NOW investigation uncovered allegations that Switzerland County’s emergency services faked medical and fire certifications for years. The allegations come from current and former staffers and has led to an investigation by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
We received an anonymous tip that multiple CPR certification cards were printed and issued to people who never took a course. The cards were issued in December 2013 and expire in December 2015. A source provided FOX19 with copies of the cards—the same copies state investigators received.
The faked certifications go beyond CPR. Multiple people with certifications tell FOX19 their fire and EMT certifications were falsified.
