75 troopers from the New Jersey State Police alongside 50 of their colleagues from the New York State Police are ready, willing, and able to answer the call from their law enforcement partners in Puerto Rico.
Many of the officers have been to Puerto Rico before. It is trip number three for New Jersey State Police Lieutenant Vito Flora - once for Hurricane Maria, two years ago for the earthquakes and now for Fiona.
For the troopers, their initial assignments will largely involve a traffic detail in areas where there is still no power six days after the storm drenched the island with 72 hours of nonstop rain. The Puerto Rican police give instructions to the New York State Troopers and the New Jersey State Troopers on where to go and what they will be doing. They are heading to four major Puerto Rican cities - Ponce, Mayaguez, Arecibo and Aguadilla.Luis Dias is a captain with the Puerto Rican police. He is also a New York native - born and raised on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
