The Chief Executive Officer of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), Janisse Quinones, has been assigned a 24/7 police security detail in response to threats made against her and water employees. This decision comes as wildfires continue to ravage Southern California.
The move to provide Quinones with a security detail was prompted by concerns raised by two Los Angeles police sources, who cited recent incidents, including the shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York. Quinones, who reportedly earns $750,000 annually, has been under scrutiny for the city's fire preparedness and water distribution strategies during the ongoing wildfires.
