Official Law Enforcement Against Prohibition Page's Interests
General
GENERAL our speakers entered into a career of law enforcement, they pledged to protect and serve. Realizing that their participation in the War on Drugs undermined the fulfillment of that pledge, the men and women of LEAP have joined forces to take action. It requires integrity, passion and bravery for our speakers to rise above the status quo.
MISSION The mission of LEAP is to reduce the multitude of harms resulting from fighting the War on Drugs and to lessen the rates of death, disease, crime, and addiction by ultimately ending drug prohibition.
GOALS LEAP's goals are: (1) To educate the public, the media and policymakers about the failure of current drug policy by presenting a true picture of the history, causes and effects of drug use and the elevated crime rates more properly related to drug prohibition than to drug pharmacology and (2) To restore the public's respect for law enforcement, which has been greatly diminished by its involvement in imposing drug prohibition.
SPEAKERS BUREAU COMPOSITION Incorporated on March 16, 2002, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition has grown from five founding police officers to a membership of over 12,000 and growing daily including over 125 speakers, living in 38 of the United States and in 8 other countries. All LEAP speakers are former drug-warriors; police, parole, probation, and corrections officers, judges, prosecutors, prison wardens, FBI, and DEA agents. LEAP has members and supporters across the United States and in fifty-six other countries.
ORIGIN OF SPEAKERS BUREAU LEAP is a tax exempt, international, nonprofit, educational entity based in the United States that was modeled after Vietnam Veterans Against the War. These Veterans had an unassailable credibility when speaking out to end that terrible war and LEAP has the same credibility when its former drug-warriors speak out against the horrors of the War on Drugs. LEAP's message demands the attention of the media and resonates with members of law enforcement who question current U.S. drug policies.
TOGETHER WE CAN! End the prohibition of currently illicit substances, raise awareness of the harm wrought by the U.S. led "War on Drugs"and educate the public about legalization as a safer more effective measure for dealing with drug use, abuse and addiction.

"Anyone concerned about the failure of our $69 billion-a-year War on Drugs should watch this 12-minute program. You will meet front line, ranking police officers who give us a devastating report on why it cannot work. It is a must-see for any journalist or public official dealing with this issue."

POEM OF LIGHT
Beyond your eyes exists a world That all can learn to see Within this world exists for us Infinite possibility
Many are lost in darkness And cannot find their way Because they choose to believe the lies They hear from day to day
The future's yours the future's yours, If you open your mind Discover what you do not know And greater truth you'll find
You and me and everyone are all beings of light We can all live in harmony, If we increase our sight, Open your heart open your mind, And see your path anew The greatest joy in life will come From Loving Being You!
Love all of life's Creations Take time and you will grow To know the truth and see the light and all you wish to know Your energy creates life and knowledge is for sure Come know yourself, The universe, And So Much, So Much More...
