LEAA Chief Outlines Minority Hiring and Arrest Guidelines
Jervis Leonard, head of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, says LEAA funded departments must follow federal minority hiring and arrest standards. He favors persuasion over fund cuts, warns against harming street beneficiaries, and notes LEAA’s $698 million next year with $500 million current grants. Leonard cites ongoing civil rights challenges and says violations will be monitored and could trigger fund recovery. He also dismisses lifelong government service plans while acknowledging LEAA’s program has weaknesses but potential for progress.
