Correct Answer:

Law Enforcement Assistance Administration

Explanation:

This item tests your recall of what LEAA stands for and its historical role in U.S. policing. The correct expansion is Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. It was a federal agency created by the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to fund and support local police, training, crime labs, and model programs. The name itself aligns with the initials exactly: Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. The other suggested phrases don’t reflect the actual official title and thus don’t match the acronym LEAA.
