New York State Police Helped With Flood Relief In Texas

There is no question that we have an amazing group of people who serve as our New York State Police. Recently, people in Texas got to see our State Law enforcement in action.

New York State Police Traveled To Texas After the Floods

According to a social media post from last week, a group of officers from the New York State Police went to Texas on July 9th, 2025, to help with the flood recovery efforts after the devastating floods that hit parts of Texas over the Fourth of July weekend. It was not just human officers who answered the call; they took K9 partners with them.

We know that we can count on our State Law Enforcement when we need them, and it is nice to know that they can also help others around the country. During storms, we often see crews from other states helping get roads clear and power back on. I guess I never realized that Law Enforcement officers might do the same thing.

The New York State Police Who Traveled To Texas To Help With Recovery

The New York State Police shared that K9 Lieutenant Anthony J. Santoro, K9 Handler Peter D. Schrage (Troop E), Special Operations Response Team Member Thomas C. Perry, and K9 Handler Sean P. Rohde (Troop K) were all deployed to assist in flood recovery efforts in Texas on July 9th.

Their skills and training, along with their compassion, helped families in Texas face the tragedies that unfolded in the aftermath of the flood. They are back home now, but I am sure they will carry the memory of that trip with them for a lifetime. If you see a New York State Police officer in your travels, be sure to thank them for what they do for us and others in our country every day.
