I imagine like electrical linemen from other states helping restore power after hurricanes.

"Steel { the CPD union chief}said Columbus sent 40 officers, including dialogue officers and two bicycle squadrons, to assist Milwaukee police at the RNC.

“Anytime you have at a major event such as RNC, DNC, inauguration, national disaster officers from across the country, they go up there and provide support,” Steel said."
