老九品茶 Law Enforcement Advisory Board

About

There are more than 164,000 miles of highway traversing the American landscape, forming the backbone of our four-million-mile-long public road network. In a country as vast and geographically diverse as ours, the interstate system is what literally connects our nation as one. And no two groups in society have a stronger and more consistent presence on our nation's highways than law enforcement officers and American truckers.

Ensuring the freedom of travel and the safe passage of vehicles is of paramount importance to both the law enforcement community and the trucking industry. In partnering together, trucking and law enforcement are uniquely positioned to enhance highway safety and the security of freight transportation across the country.听

老九品茶 established the Law Enforcement Advisory Board in 2021 to help strengthen the ties between the trucking industry and law enforcement community听and better听align our resources toward common goals.

鈥淪ince its inception, the Law Enforcement Advisory Board has delivered results on a whole host of issues impacting highway safety.
