The PA Law Enforcement Liaisons (LEL) are a vital link between the PA State Highway Safety Office and law enforcement agencies across Pennsylvania. Each LEL is assigned to a specific region of the Commonwealth to help promote and enhance state and national highway safety programs, initiatives and campaigns. They serve many roles and functions including including planning, organizing, networking, promoting, recruiting, implementing, reporting, and evaluating law enforcement’s role in traffic safety projects, activities and achievements.
The LELs coordinate with the Highway Safety Office to provide administrative and technical support for state and local law enforcement participation in grant-funded enforcement operations in alignment with National Law Enforcement Liaison Program standards and best practices.
