The Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP), formerly Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization group of current and former police, judges, prosecutors, and other criminal justice professionals who use their expertise to advance drug policy and criminal justice solutions that enhance public safety. The organization is modeled after Vietnam Veterans Against the War. As of April 2017,[needs update] they have more than 180 representatives around the world[1] who speak on behalf of over 5,000 law enforcement members and 100,000 supporters.[2]

The organization transitioned from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition into the Law Enforcement Action Partnership in January 2017.[3] They previously focused on ending the War on Drugs[4][5] and now discuss a broad range of issues relating to policing and criminal justice - from procedural justice practices to reducing recidivism. Their overarching message is about reducing crime and violence and improving public safety, while the issues they discuss fall into five key areas: improving police-community relations, reducing and finding alternatives to incarceration, improving access to harm reduction services, ending the War on Drugs and global issues.[6]
