Massachusetts State Police transport personal protective equipment from New Bedford to Martha’s Vineyard

“On Thursday the Massachusetts State Police Marine Unit transported a large volume of personal protective equipment to Martha’s Vineyard for distribution among first responders and public safety personnel across the island.

Troopers from the Marine Unit picked up the equipment from the state stockpile and trucked it to the New Bedford State Pier. From there, the equipment was loaded aboard an MSP vessel and transported to Menemsha for off-loading.

The MSP was happy to be of assistance on the water as part of the state’s ongoing comprehensive response to the public health emergency.”
