Police, undercover operatives, intelligence service, military and a range of figures from the criminal justice system are joining together with civilians to raise awareness to the failed, dangerous and expensive pursuit of punitive drug policies and the so-called “war on drugs”.
Our mission at LEAP UK (Law Enforcement Action Partnership) is to reduce the multitude of unintended harmful consequences resulting from the criminalisation of drug users, and to lessen the incidence of death, disease, crime and addiction by ultimately ending drug prohibition. We advocate legal reform, and an evidence based policy with a public health focus including decriminalisation and nuanced regulatory models for all drugs.
