Public Education

LEAA's Public Education Efforts

At LEAA, one of our most important missions is our public education efforts in the areas of criminal justice and law enforcement. LEAA works to get our common sense message of tough on crime and pro-law enforcement policies out to the public through a variety of formats, including television news appearances, print editorials and paid media messages.

LEAA's well-established expertise in criminal justice and law enforcement public policy is demonstrated by our numerous appearances on national news broadcasts, as well as radio, newspaper and magazine interviews. LEAA continues to be a leader among law enforcement advocates in standing up for cops and common sense criminal justice policies.
