For the third year in a row, the University of Maryland police department won the Maryland Law Enforcement Challenge (LEC) in the University Law Enforcement division. This award is given to departments across the nation for their dedication towards increasing safety through traffic enforcement.
The LEC program is evaluated through traffic enforcement programs such as Click It or Ticket, Smooth Operator, and Checkpoint Strikeforce. The purposes of these initiatives are to increase traffic safety through educational and enforcement means and to deter negligent or aggressive behavior that could lead to a potentially dangerous traffic accident.
Although UMPD participates fully in these initiatives, we strive for exemplary traffic enforcement day to day and make traffic safety a daily priority.
