Experiencing a power outage lasting several days can be challenging and stressful. However, maintaining calm and managing stress is essential to ensure everyone’s safety.
We must understand that our line workers (utility workers) are working non-stop to restore the power in our community. Some have traveled away from their families across state lines to help our community return to normalcy.
Their work already involves significant risks, including high-voltage electricity, working at heights, and handling heavy equipment. People in the community threatening or interfering only delays power restoration to those who need it. Ensuring their safety and security is paramount for operational continuity.
The Pasadena Police Department is committed to supporting and ensuring the safety of our line workers. We will take action against anyone who threatens their safety or interferes with their duties.
