About us
The Law Enforcement Action Partnership’s mission is to unite and mobilize the voice of law enforcement in support of drug policy and criminal justice reforms that will make communities safer by focusing law enforcement resources on the greatest threats to public safety, promoting alternatives to arrest and incarceration, addressing the root causes of crime, and working toward healing police-community relations. We envision a world in which criminal justice and drug policies keep our communities safer. Ending the War on Drugs and looking beyond the criminal justice system for a range of solutions to address society’s ills will better protect human rights, reduce violence and addiction, and build public respect for and trust in law enforcement.

Today marks the day whereby Ohio officially launches its adult responsible model, allowing anyone over the age of 21 to legal purchase and possess, as well as home-grow allowances. Have a look at our images to find out some details. There’s also very important contributions to the public purse via taxation and allocated revenue being attributed to social justice programs. Let’s keep things moving forward! #social #community #socialjustice #ohio #reform #socialequity #equity #warondrugs #unity #tax #taxation #adults #responsible #lawenforcement #police

With today being #mothersday, we would like to remember all the families who may suffer with this commemorative day. We recommend these three articles which convey the emotion of losing a child - whether it’s to overdose or incarceration. We send our deepest thoughts to all mothers and families who are affected by tragedy. #moms #mothers #socialjustice #reform #community #lawenforcement #police #overdose #overdoseprevention #harmreduction #prison #penalreform #incarceration
