Law Enforcement Challenge

Tennessee’s Law Enforcement Challenge is Now Online!
Agencies are No Longer Required to Make Challenge Books


The Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) upgraded the Law Enforcement Challenge (LEC) format to make the process more efficient and user-friendly. Instead of creating a challenge book, agencies will now report progress via the THSO’s website using an online form. Participants will no longer be required to collect physical materials for submission. Our goal is to increase participation in the LEC by offering a more streamlined process that’s quick and easy to use. Last year, agencies who participated took home over $90,000 in donated prizes.

Use the online form below to submit photos and documentation for points throughout the year. Opportunities for points are divided into four categories: Policy & Guidelines; Incentives & Recognition; THSO Activities; and Public Information & Education. To avoid unnecessary duplication, the previous categories of Training, Enforcement and Effectiveness were removed since agencies already report on these categories through POST, TITAN, and other reporting agencies.

This year's challenge will allow for all activities between July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

If you have questions about the new process or have tips on improvement, contact Joe Powell at jdpowell@tntech.edu or 931-372-6404.
