BACKGROUND
Background
The Sheriff’s Office is requesting to apply for a grant through the Governor’s Highway Safety DWI Taskforce Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) program in the anticipated amount of $25,000. The Governor’s Highway Safety Program supports and oversees the statewide "Booze It & Lose It" and "Click It or Ticket" programs. Law Enforcement Agency coordination of these programs is accomplished by utilizing eleven (11) regional "Law Enforcement Liaison" positions. Through the guidance and coordination efforts of the liaisons, planning and preparation and reporting activities from the event(s) occur. A Regional Law Enforcement Liaison serves as coordinator and organizer for highway safety activities in their respective region. Efforts to continue to promote and involve law enforcement agencies in these lifesaving endeavors are of paramount importance to this statewide program. To this end, LELs are required to host events, attend and conduct meetings, assist County Coordinators with organizing highway safety campaigns, and encouraging agencies to report activities. Grant funding is used towards liaison training, incentives, quarterly meetings, an annual retreat, purchase of radars and Air Cards. The application due date for the grant application is January 31, 2023, and if awarded, the grant would be effective October 1, 2023. No local match is required.
