A reminder from the Washington County Sheriff's Office: Employees of our local power board, the Johnson City Power Board will clearly display JCPB logos on their vehicles and carry an official photo ID at all times. Any person contracted to complete work on behalf of the Johnson City Power Board will show identification upon request and often use magnetic JCPB logo decals to mark their vehicles. Citizens of Washington County who are suspicious of any individual claiming to represent JCPB or any other organization are encouraged to contact the business directly to confirm the identity of those persons in question or contact your local law enforcement agency by dialing 911. Do not allow persons, who are claiming to represent any organization that you have questions about, access to your private property.
