Leigh Maddox retired a Captain from the Maryland State Police in 2007. She participated in the war on drugs from many angles. In the 1990’s, she worked as a patrol trooper and supervisor; served in the Intelligence Division including a long term undercover assignment in which she infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan; and worked as a criminal investigator, legislative coordinator, public affairs spokesperson, and academy Instructor. Leigh later served as the Commander of the Baltimore Washington Metro Troop, Planning and Research Division, Training Division, and as the coordinator for the racial profiling Consent Decree related to the drug interdiction policies of the Maryland State Police. Ms. Maddox says she is tired of seeing good cops and innocent  citizens die because we insist on continuing the same prohibition policies. “Our failed drug policies are nothing more than a killing field, battering communities, pillaging minority families and subjecting generations of Americans to poverty, violence and a depth of hopelessness from which not even the strongest child can emerge without scars that serve as lifetime haunts.”
