Today, more than ever, the thin blue line is what protects good from evil.

Move Over to Protect Police, Fire, and EMS Personnel

This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Please take a moment to thank them for all they do for their community. Too often, they are under recognized for their hard work and dedication to ensuring that emergency services reach you in your time of need. And don't forget, you can join this valuable team. See our previous post for details on how you can become one of them.

Due to a motor vehicle crash along the flood levee near the end of Glover Street, power will be out for a few hours today as AEP crews work to restore the electric service to much of the lower end of Portsmouth, including the areas of Shawnee State University and the Portsmouth City Schools. As a result, many of the traffic lights at downtown intersections are inoperable. As a reminder, motorists should treat such intersections as a four way stop. If you can avoid areas impacted by the outage please do so. Those people who have medical monitors that require electricity should plan to be without power during the day and make arrangements accordingly. Please do not call dispatch for power restoration estimates. Crews are on scene and working to restore power.
