YOUNGSVILLE, NC--(Marketwire - October 24, 2007) - Law Enforcement Associates Corporation

undercover surveillance equipment, today announced that year-to-date sales
of the company's new Birddog™ GPS tracking system have surpassed 100
units and have contributed approximately $750,000 to fiscal 2007 revenue.
"A growing number of law enforcement agencies are turning to the Birddog
for its ease of use and reliability in the field," said Paul Feldman,

About the Birddog
The Birddog was originally released by AID in the 1970s as a radio

enforcement agencies. LEA re-launched the Birddog in January 2007, when the
company introduced an all-new tracking device based on advanced GPS
technology.
