Logos and text promoting Florida traffic safety initiatives.

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.

 

The Florida Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Challenge recognizes law enforcement agencies across Florida for outstanding traffic safety programs. The 2025 awards ceremony is scheduled for July 24–25 in Orlando, Florida.

Your Florida LEL Team

Each of the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) seven districts is supported by a full-time Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL), with statewide coordination and management by the LEL Coordinator. LELs are experienced law enforcement professionals who serve as a vital link between the FDOT Safety Office and Florida’s law enforcement community, playing a crucial role in planning, promoting, and evaluating traffic safety initiatives.
