"Vermont State Police headed out of state on Sunday to help with security as New Jersey tries to recover from Hurricane Sandy.They packed the patrol cars with at least eight days worth of supplies, but looking at the destruction of their destination, the troopers might be on the road for weeks.\"You know, if they keep asking, I'm sure we'll keep helping as long as we can help,\" said Capt. Rob Evans of the Vermont State Police.The troopers are headed to Fort Dix, N.J., to help out with the policing side of Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.\"We'll be working as sworn law enforcement officers in the state of New Jersey,\" Evans told the group of troopers.He said they'll likely be tasked with anti-looting details, checkpoints and patrols. The main idea is to give New Jersey police a breather.\"I'm sure they have been rocking and rolling 24 hours a day, overburdened with law enforcement support down there. Our opportunity to go is to get down there and give them a little bit of a break,\" said Evans.The men who volunteered come mostly from the traffic operations unit. Evans said VSP is not sure how they'll be paid. \"We're going to be working in cooperation with New Jersey and how that reimbursement process works, we're going to figure it out when we get down there.\"The important thing now, Evans said, is to get to their fellow troopers in need and return the favor from Tropical Storm Irene.\"Last year, we were impacted. Folks came in. National Guard came in from all over the country. Now it's our time to give back and it's a great feeling,\" said Evans."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
