Military Access, Mobility & Safety Improvement Program Updates for Week of April 30 — Colorado Department of Transportation

/in


Colorado Springs — Construction on Interstate 25 between South Academy Boulevard and Santa Fe Avenue requires ramp closures on Thursday night and overnight lane closures throughout the week to shift traffic barriers to prepare for the northbound traffic switch from mile 128 to 135.

Beginning at 7 p.m. on Sunday, April 30, and continuing until Wednesday, May 3, drivers can anticipate left lane closures on northbound I-25. On Thursday night May 4, drivers can anticipate various lane closures and ramp closers on northbound I-25 to perform the traffic switch. All lanes reopen at 6 a.m. Monday through Friday, and at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

The traffic switch that was originally scheduled for Saturday night, April 29 has been rescheduled for Thursday night, May 4. Northbound I-25 traffic will move to the newly constructed southbound lanes and will be head-to-head, separated by temporary barrier with 11-foot lanes and two-foot shoulders, so northbound lanes can be constructed. Motorists can expect new on- and off-ramps, lane closures, ramp closures and several detours with the traffic switch.

Northbound I-25 ramp closure detours include:

  • Entrance 128 at Santa Fe Avenue.: Traffic will travel north on Santa Fe Avenue / CanAm Highway to South Academy Boulevard., turn west and enter I-25 at Entrance 135.
  • Exit 132 at Mesa Ridge Parkway: Traffic will continue north to South Circle Drive, turn around and travel south to Exit 132A or 132B
  • Entrance 132 at Mesa Ridge Parkway: Traffic will proceed west to southbound Entrance 132, travel south to Exit 128, turn east onto Santa Fe Avenue, continue north on CanAm Highway to South Academy Boulevard, turn west and enter I-25 at Entrance 135
  • Exit 135 at South Academy Boulevard: Traffic will continue north to South Circle Drive, turn around and travel south to Exit 135

Construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change

Cyber Attack Hits NJ Police Department – NBC New York

/in


The Camden County Police Department experienced a ransomware attack that has been locking many criminal investigative files and day-to-day internal administration abilities, several law enforcement officials said. 

Investigators said the attack started in the middle of March and technicians continue working to try to get all systems back up and running.

A police spokesman confirmed the cyber intrusion but stressed the ransomware attack did not impact 911 call systems or other public safety responses.

CCPD spokesman Dan Keashen said the malware first hit the department about three weeks ago. 

“The agency is operational and did not experience any disruption or outages in its public safety response services to the Camden City Community,” Keashen said.

The FBI, NJ State Homeland Security’s office and the New Jersey attorney general’s office were all notified of the incident and are assisting in the investigation, several officials said.

Sources familiar with the matter said the hackers were demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars to unlock the files as a result of the malware. Keashen declined to comment on what group might be behind the incident or how much money was being demanded.

Sources briefed on the matter said electronic police files were among those locked and inaccessible — delaying some investigations. One official said about 80-85 percent of the files have now been reopened. Keashen said the department “is working with information technology and law enforcement professionals to ensure there is no remaining threat in our network.”

An epidemic of ransomware attacks has prompted Biden administration officials to deem them a national security threat. But what exactly is “ransomware” and how do these cyberattacks work?

One law enforcement source said investigators were looking into whether the incident began after a police department employee opened a personal email that was malware on a police department device.

Two sources said the Camden County Prosecutor’s office has also been hit by a hacking incident impacting some files. It is unclear how significant of a cyberattack the office suffered in the last couple of…

US Department of Labor finds Salt Lake City restaurant supply company illegally employed 22 minor-aged workers beyond hours allowed

/in


SALT LAKE CITY – A federal investigation has found a Salt Lake City restaurant supply company allowed 22 employees – ages 14 and 15 – to work as many as 46 hours per workweek, and to begin work after midnight – both illegal practices under child labor laws. 

Investigators with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division found Specialty Consulting Services LLC – operating as Standard Restaurant Supply – violated child labor work hours standards of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The employer also failed to keep accurate time records including the date of birth for one minor-aged employee, in violation of the FLSA’s recordkeeping  provision.

The division assessed $16,595 in penalties to resolve the child labor violations.

The investigation follows a March 2022 announcement by the division’s Southwest Region reminding Salt Lake City-area employers of the importance of complying with federal child labor laws, and its stepped up enforcement efforts. 

“Minors as young as 14- and 15-years-old not only worked beyond permitted hours, but more than half of them were employed in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act by being allowed to work long shifts often exceeding eight hours,” explained Wage and Hour Division District Director Kevin Hunt in Salt Lake City. “Our investigators continue to see an increase in child labor violations in several industries. We will take vigorous action whenever we discover young workers’ safety and well-being are being jeopardized by employers who fail to follow the law.”

Federal labor law prohibits the employment of workers under the age of 14 in non-agricultural settings. 14- and 15-year-olds must work outside of the hours of school and cannot work:

  • More than 3 hours on a school day, including Friday.
  • More than 18 hours per week when school is in session.
  • More than 8 hours per day when school is not in session.
  • More than 40 hours per week when school is not in session.
  • Before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on any day, except from June 1 through Labor Day, when nighttime work hours are extended to 9 p.m.

“We urge employers in the region to gain a full understanding of child labor regulations and ensure…
