| Source: Law Enforcement Associates
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."
