Amid 'threats' against her and her employees, the Los Angeles water chief receives a police security detail.
It is reported that Janisse Quinones, the water chief, earns an annual salary of $750,000.
Amid threats against her and water employees, the Los Angeles water chief has been assigned a police security detail as wildfires ravaged Southern California, according to two Los Angeles police sources.
The LAPD has assigned a 24/7 detail to Los Angeles Department of Water and Power CEO Janisse Quinones due to threats, according to sources.
A LAPD source mentioned the recent shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York.
Quinones reportedly makes $750,000 per year.
The wildfires in Los Angeles have led to criticism of the city's fire preparedness and water distribution.
The Department of Water and Power has confirmed that threats have been made against its employees, including incidents that took place at a DWP facility downtown on Tuesday evening.
"We report every threat and incident immediately to law enforcement, but we do not disclose our security measures to protect our employees."
The department emphasized that the employees are working diligently to aid the City's response and their efforts are vital. They are an integral part of the City family, the community, and there is no place for any threats to their safety in society or the City.
Quinones has previously stated that she views her position through an "equity lens" and utilizes it to promote social justice.
