PURSUANT TO

I, Paul
Feldman, certify that:





1.   I
have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of
Law Enforcement Associates Corporation for the year ended December 31,
2008.





2.   Based
on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material  fact or omit to state
a  material  fact  necessary  to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such
statements were
made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to
the  period  covered by this report;








3.   Based
on
my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in
all  material respects the
financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows
of  the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
report;





4.   I
am  responsible  for  establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined  in Exchange Act
Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))  and
internal  control over
financial  reporting  (as  defined  in  Exchange  Act
Rules  13a-15(f)  and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and
have:





a.   Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or
caused
such   disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
supervision,  to
ensure  that  material  information  relating  to
the registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
known to us by others within those entities,  particularly during the
period in which this report is being prepared;





b.   Designed
such internal  control
over  financial  reporting,  or caused such
internal  control over  financial  reporting to be
designed under
our  supervision,   to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the
reliability  of financial  reporting and
the  preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;





c.   Evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and
presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures; and





d.   Disclosed  in
the  report  any  change  in
the  registrant's  internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the
registrant's  fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
annual  report)  that
has  materially  affected,  or is
reasonably  likely to
materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
control over financial reporting;





5.   I
have disclosed any sufficient deficiencies,  based on our most
recent  evaluation of internal control
over  financial  reporting,  to
the  registrant's  auditors  and
the  audit committee of  registrant's  board of
directors (or persons  performing  the equivalent
functions):





a.   All
significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation  of
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which
are reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect
the  registrant's  ability to record, process, summarize and
report financial information; and





b.   Any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial
reporting.
