Law Enforcement Liaisons (LEL)

The Bridge to Our Communities

Our LEL Team serves as the vital link between state safety goals and local agency action. While Program Managers handle the "what", our LELs handle the "how" by providing on-the-ground support to local police and sheriff departments. 

LEL Team Leadership

Law Enforcement Coordinator & Grant Specialist Oversees all regional LEL activities, manages multi-agency mobilizations, and serves as the primary liaison for statewide enforcement strategy.
