The Florida Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) Program, funded by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), supports and partners with law enforcement agencies statewide to enhance traffic safety initiatives and recognize agencies with outstanding traffic safety programs through the annual Florida Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Challenge. By raising awareness and promoting law enforcement engagement in traffic safety, our ultimate goal is to reduce crashes, fatalities, and serious injuries.
