Law Enforcement Associates' Under-Vehicle Inspection Systems Gaining Traction in Domestic Markets

YOUNGSVILLE, NC--(Marketwire - September 18, 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, today said that the Company is experiencing a surge in demand for its Under Vehicle Inspection Systems (UVIS) from a broad array of prospective U.S.-based customers.

Recent orders for LEA's legacy UVIS and the new Smith & Wesson®-branded UVIS Swift have come from major Air Force bases, an Air National Guard facility, and from government integrator Lockheed Martin.

Paul Feldman, president of LEA, said the company also recently received an order from New Jersey's Egg Harbor Township Police Department, which will use the UVIS to screen vehicles at Atlantic City International Airport. Funding for this installation came from a Homeland Security grant. "This order is especially notable, as it represents the first time our system has been deployed as part of a major U.S. airport's overall security and surveillance platform. We have long believed that our UVIS could be an important tool in helping secure the domestic aviation industry, and this order appears to be an important first step toward that objective."

The UVIS installation at the Atlantic City International Airport garnered significant media attention, and links to that coverage can be found on the Investor Relations portion of LEA's website, located at www.leacorp.com.

LEA has sold approximately 2,000 of the advanced high-resolution camera systems, which until recently primarily have been installed at overseas sites such as embassies, military bases, nuclear facilities and other high-security locations.

About the UVIS

LEA's Under Vehicle Inspection Systems utilize four high-resolution cameras, which are incorporated into a brightly colored ramp system. As vehicles pass over the ramp, real-time color video images of the car's undercarriage are transmitted to a nearby video screen, which is monitored by specially trained security personnel. The Smith and Wesson-branded Swift is a compact, portable version of LEA's legacy UVIS.
