Law Enforcement Associates to Exhibit at National Technical Investigators' Association Annual Training Conference

RALEIGH, NC--(Marketwire - July 14, 2009) - Law Enforcement Associates Corporation (LEA) (OTCBB: LAWE), the largest U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of electronic surveillance equipment, today announced it will demonstrate its product line at the National Technical Investigators' Association (NATIA) 24th Annual Training Conference and Technology Exhibit. The conference, which is restricted to law enforcement and government security personnel, as well as select members of the U.S. military, is being held this week in Memphis, Tennessee.

Paul Feldman, president of LEA, said, "NATIA is one of the most important annual events in our industry and brings together key decision makers from across our target markets. Attendees will be evaluating the latest in security and surveillance equipment, and many of their respective agencies are now benefiting from the new financial resources available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. We believe LEA is ideally positioned to address the backlog in demand that has been building as a result of the very limited financial resources many of these agencies have faced in recent years."

NATIA is made up of more than 2,500 law enforcement personnel, intelligence officers and support staff who provide the technical operations, surveillance activities and scientific support for hundreds of federal, state and local agencies across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. This is accomplished through a blend of regional training programs and an annual national conference where the organization provides training in new technologies, discusses major developments, conducts workshops, and sponsors a technology exhibition.
