LEAP UK

We are humbled to share this video which highlights addiction and overdose from two different perspectives: The Family and The Police. To mark #OverdoseAwareness we would like to pay our respect to all who have experience. Let’s save lives!

Paywalled Times piece which looks at the futility of drug laws and how we are perpetually chasing the tail of the trade. As Law Enforcement Action Partnership can attest, we will never achieve the metrics of ‘success’ using prohibition alone. thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

‘The 100th suicide prevention bench has been unveiled by charity 'Legend on the Bench' - each carrying details on how to access immediate support.’ A simple but wonderful initiative to help us connect with one another. news.sky.com/video/mental-h…

Sending solidarity to Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF) who have politically come under attack. Distressing to witness this level of disrespect. We need every option in saving lives; SDF has played a large part in seeking options & evidence. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/… story by @daview96

We are also very lucky in LEAP UK specifically. We have a leadership of women and speakers who inspire our work everyday. #InternationalWomensDay

We are truly lucky to have such inspiring leadership in Law Enforcement Action Partnership, but we also get to work alongside so many women who shape our organization. Today we send a humble gesture of gratitude and appreciation. #InternationalWomensDay

A great deal of movement in Jersey for cannabis reforms. jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2026/02/1…

‘Law enforcement organisation criticises Starmer over attacks on drug reform’ “An organisation of former law enforcement officials has criticised the Prime Minister and other Labour ministers for attacking ‘urgently needed’ drug reform.” leafie.co.uk/news/leap-crit… by @teamleafie

We hold deep concerns over @UKLabour and @Keir_Starmer’s response to @TheGreenParty & @ZackPolanski’s manifesto pledge to reform dr*g laws. As an organisation of law enforcement voices we release a statement, calling for new level of discourse. We invite you to read and share:

@Donna__McLean @UKLabour Thank you very much Donna.

@UKLEAP is very much worth listening to on UK drug policy. Unlike @UKLabour.

This video from @UKLabour is one of the worst outputs on drug policy we’ve witnessed. There are so many aspects that are wrong and insulting, not just to the Green Party and leader but to any person or organisation who’s been part of the drug policy debate.

It’s truly disheartening to witness the policy debate get debased so badly. The Labour Party’s excruciatingly out of touch comments and comms are a direct assault on evidence-based policy making. We need sensible debate, not this: mirror.co.uk/news/politics/… Story By @DaveBurke12
