The Governors Highway Safety Association (“GHSA”) has hired former Toronto (Canada) Police Service Sergeant Tim Burrows to lead the National Law Enforcement Liaison Program (“NLELP”).
In this role, Mr. Burrows will support the nation's 233 law enforcement liaisons (“LELs”), who work for state highway safety offices (“SHSOs”) to promote law enforcement agency engagement in traffic safety activities at the state and local level.
The NLELP was created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) and the GHSA in 2012. Funded by the NHTSA, the program enhances communications between LELs, supports LEL professional development, and provides technical assistance to LELs and SHSOs.
Mr. Burrows spent the first 25 years of his career as a sworn police officer with the Toronto Police Service, rising to the rank of sergeant. He led the Traffic Services Communication Office during a period that saw a 35 percent reduction in traffic fatalities, with significant reductions in injury and collision categories.
