LEAP's Year in Review: 2022 Impact Report

John,


This has been a remarkable year for the Law Enforcement Action Partnership. As we reflect on our accomplishments in 2022, we recognize that without your support, none of this necessary and challenging work would be possible. Through the end of the year, we will be sharing our 2022 impact report over a series of messages to our valued partners  you.

Persistence is one virtue that’s always been front and center at LEAP. For years, we were the “little engine that could,” a small team on the cutting edge of drug policy, advocating for legalization of all drugs before it was a widely recognized position, and putting it out there via the most unlikely messengers: law enforcement professionals

In upcoming messages this month, you’ll hear in detail about the success of our educational work on a wide range of legislative issues; our top media hits; and on-the-ground solutions like our ever-expanding Community Responder Model. Today, we want to highlight LEAP’s commitment to getting cutting-edge justice reform in front of the mainstream. The International Association of Chiefs of Police is well-established in police leadership. At their annual conference each year, the IACP features 16 organizations, including two nonprofits, whose work supports best practices in policing. This year, LEAP was featured in the IACP’s “Thought Leaders” series watch our short film now on IACP TV.

Needless to say, our visionary advocacy work was not always well-received within mainstream law enforcement circles… that is, until they started talking to our speakers. It’s hard to argue with policies and programs that prioritize public safety; reallocate police resources in smart ways; and take a more equitable approach to justice all coming from messengers with decades of law enforcement experience under their belt. LEAP’s focus has always been on moving more practical, compassionate policies forward, because that’s what our communities tell us they need. Sometimes that means we are outliers in the moment but we’ve been around long enough to know that those moments often build toward a transformational movement.

Your partnership keeps our work at the cutting edge of justice and drug policy reform. To support our work heading into 2023, make your year end gift today.

In solidarity,
The LEAP Team

Lt. Diane Goldstein (Ret.)
Executive Director
