Law Enforcement Associates Receives Initial Orders for New Graffiti Cam System

YOUNGSVILLE, NC--(Marketwire - February 21, 2008) - Law Enforcement Associates Corporation (LEA) (AMEX: AID), the largest U.S. developer and manufacturer of undercover surveillance equipment, today announced it has received orders for more than 40 of its recently introduced Graffiti Cam systems. The Graffiti Cam is a covert video recording device that notifies law enforcement of graffiti and related forms of property crime while they are occurring. The orders have come from an array of law enforcement organizations located throughout the United States.

Paul Feldman, president of LEA, said, "We believe there is enormous demand for tools that enable law enforcement to proactively apprehend and convict offenders of graffiti-related crimes. These initial orders are a very encouraging sign that LEA has begun to penetrate this large, untapped market opportunity.

"We have seen widespread interest in our Graffiti Cam ever since we introduced the product and concurrently announced a beta testing program in Denver last November. Although severe winter weather has delayed a full rollout of the testing program, we have been aggressive in our efforts to educate other domestic markets about the product and its cutting-edge surveillance features. We believe the Graffiti Cam and its real-time notification system will be key in catching, prosecuting and penalizing individuals engaged in this most common form of vandalism."

Feldman said LEA's nearly 40-year track record of providing advanced audio and video surveillance devices to law enforcement has been a key factor in landing the initial orders for the Graffiti Cam. "We look forward to continuing our work with the Denver Police Department, and are optimistic that the results of this beta testing program will help us accelerate our sales and marketing efforts."
