The police communications desk receives numerous calls from residents about power loss. The police department is not always aware of the cause or how long until it will be restored.  Calling police headquarters to ask about the power loss may cause unnecessary delay for dispatchers to handle urgent matters. If you lose power you are urged to call 1-800-544-4877 (1-800-LIGHTSS) and report the outage to JCP&L.  We  also recommend you select the option to be notified via telephone callback when your power is restored.  Reporting your power outage to JCP&L is the fastest way to document your outage.  JCP&L states that when homeowners report their outages directly to them it allows them to pinpoint the problem in a more expeditious manner.

If you see wires down, or other hazards please call 9-1-1.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE WITH POWER FOR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT DURING AN OUTAGE, PLEASE CALL 973-377-0100.
