Gov. DeWine authorizes OSHP to assist Texas law enforcement at border
A total of 14 OSHP troopers and supervisors will travel to Texas later this week.

In response to a request for assistance from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has authorized a contingent from the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) to respond to Texas to assist local law enforcement with border surveillance.
A total of 14 OSHP troopers and supervisors will travel to Texas later this week.
During this two-week assignment, the OSHP will not be tasked with making arrests.
Last week, Governor DeWine approved the deployment of 185 members of the Ohio Army National Guard to Texas to provide non-law enforcement support to the United States Custom and Border Protection.
The activation was made at the request of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Guard Bureau (NGB).
