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.

National “Click It or Ticket” CIOT Mobilization: May 15 – June 4, 2023
The 21-day Seat Belt Enforcement Mobilization will include the National Border to Border Campaign on May 22, 2023. This is a one-day, 4-hour national seat-belt awareness event that aims to increase law enforcement participation in seat belt enforcement and encourages drivers and passengers to buckle up on heavily traveled, highly visible state, county, and local border roadways.
