YOUNGSVILLE, NC--(Marketwire - September 11, 2007) - Law Enforcement Associates Corporation
(LEA) (AMEX : AID ), a leading provider of surveillance and security products
to the global law enforcement, military, security and corrections markets,
said it has received more than $250,000 in orders from Louisiana-based law
enforcement agencies during 2007. Orders from the state are up sharply
versus the past two years, and have largely come from departments that
suffered substantial losses of equipment during hurricane Katrina.
"Bureaus operating along the Gulf Coast were left without many of the most
basic tools required in modern law enforcement," said Paul Feldman,
president of LEA. "We made equipment loans to certain hard-hit agencies so
they could simply maintain day-to-day operations. After two years, it
appears the focus of many departments has shifted from restoring and
rebuilding infrastructure to replacement of the systems necessary for
critical undercover and surveillance work."
