Officials with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said that an outage of its emergency 911 system Wednesday impacted all 23 stations.
The incident, according to an LASD news release, happened just after 11 a.m. and was caused by a dip in electricity voltage from “an external utility company.”
In the 20 minutes that the disruption lasted, sheriff’s officials said patrol stations, once they were aware of the outage, implemented backup procedures, though no information on what those procedures entail was provided.
While specific patrol stations were not identified, certain locations reportedly were able to regain 911 service quicker than others.
It’s not the first time the largest sheriff’s department in the nation has experienced issues with its communication systems.

The issue, which was discovered at around 8 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2024, lasted until Jan. 2.

It’s like a Third World Country, with intermittent electricity.
Wait until these Moonbats buy more EVs and plug ‘em into the grid. And Gavin wants to eliminate ICE vehicles by 2030. Good luck, moron.

Marked safe from Swatting today...?
If your computer system crashes because of external utility power, you *SUCK* at back up power systems. Full stop.
Mission critical computer systems have had UPSs (uninterruptible power supplies) with batteries, further backed up with automatically starting generators with automatic transfer switches, for more than 50 years at this point. Heck, I’ve had a small UPS for my server or NAS and network stack for 25 years!
Yes, California has utility issues. And blaming this problem on the power utility is BS.
No SWATs today !
Prepare to defend yourselves.
How could this happen?
