The Pennsylvania State Police have announced that they will be dispatching 54 state troopers to Florida to assist in law enforcement operations following the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
On Friday, Col. Christopher Paris, Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, proudly announced the dispatch of Pennsylvania State Troopers to Florida to aid the hurricane-affected residents. He emphasized the unwavering commitment of the state police to public safety and service, highlighting their readiness to offer assistance during this critical period.
In late September, Pennsylvania dispatched multiple teams to North Carolina to provide aid and assistance in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. As a continuation of their relief efforts, Pennsylvania has now deployed additional teams to assist with ongoing recovery and support operations.

Padfield stated that the deployment of Pennsylvania resources was made possible through the nationwide Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). This compact enables states to quickly share essential resources in times of need, all while following the leadership and direction of the requesting states.
