Abstract:This study increased understanding of State law enforcement liaison (LEL) programs by describing their characteristics, duties, responsibilities, and activities. It included an online survey of LELs and their State Highway Safety Office (SHSO) program managers to identify program characteristics and practices. A total of 105 LELs and 31 SHSO representatives completed the surveys. Nearly 75% of the LELs responded that they were directly accountable to their SHSOs. Over 75% of the LELs focused on impaired driving, occupant protection, distracted driving, and speed management. Specific LEL characteristics, such as superior communication and interpersonal skills, knowledge of State traffic safety laws and general police methods, connections with LEAs, and high energy and charisma were identified as important factors for a productive program.
