We have had a report from a local business that individuals have been posing as health inspectors. If you receive an email or a visit from someone claiming to be a health inspector and you are unsure if they are legitimate, ask for credentials or call the health department to confirm the person is an employee. Joplin City Health Department inspectors will always arrive to inspections in City of Joplin vehicles, have identification badges, and carry official documentation such as business cards and City of Joplin inspection forms to show they are employees of the city.
