Temporary Utility Power Interruption at Police Headquarters Scheduled for August 3

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX—The Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) Headquarters will experience a temporary utility power interruption on August 3 from approximately 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This scheduled outage is necessary to examine the existing CCPD main switchgear and install a new backup power generator. The utility company, AEP, will manage the disconnection and subsequent reconnection of the power supply.

During this period, CCPD Headquarters will use an on-site generator to maintain power continuity within the building to ensure no service disruptions occur during this isolated electrical outage. However, there is a potential risk of network disruptions that may affect emergency operation communications for the city, county, and neighboring municipalities. In addition, a backup generator is on standby, pre-connected and ready for activation should it be required.

All involved parties have been thoroughly briefed and are prepared to execute the planned measures effectively. Precautions have been taken to minimize any impact on CCPD operations and ensure the safety and security of all facilities.

CCPD is dedicated to maintaining public safety and providing our community with the highest quality of service. The City of Corpus Christi remains committed to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement of city operations.
