BACKGROUND
Background
The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) was awarded $25,000 through the FY2023 Governor’s Highway Safety Program (GHSP) to provide operational support for a regional law enforcement liaison. Funding will be used for travel and operating expenses associated with the liaison position.
A Regional Law Enforcement Liaison serves as coordinator and organizer for highway safety activities in their respective region. The GHSP supports and oversees the statewide "Booze it & Lose it," and "Click it or Ticket" programs. 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. Efforts to continue to promote and involve law enforcement agencies in these lifesaving endeavors are of paramount importance to this statewide program.
These grant funds are used for the region-wide coordination of the Booze It/Lose It and Click It & Ticket Campaign operation and equipment costs. Grant funding is used towards liaison training, incentives, quarterly meetings, an annual retreat, purchase of radars and Air Cards. No local match is required.
