ATLANTA — For the second time in about two weeks, Atlanta Police Department’s E911 Communications Center is without power.

APD released a statement Monday night, saying:

“On the afternoon of November 22, 2021, the Atlanta Police Department’s E911 Communications Center experienced a power outage, causing commanders to move operations to Fulton County’s Center. Our backup battery system allowed us to keep our center operational during the transition. Our dispatchers are now operating from the Fulton County E911 Center and we are working to restore power in our center, as well as address the issues causing these problems.”

Earlier this month, a water leak took out power to the same facility but resumed a day later.
