Governor Murphy tweeted that he is deploying the NJ State Police to DC at the request of DC officials:

At the request of DC officials, I am deploying the @NJSP to the District of Columbia to facilitate the peaceful transition of power & protect our democracy. We are prepared to deploy the @NJNationalGuard upon request.

May God Bless America and our brave men and women in uniform.
