Law Enforcement Availability Pay
Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) is, per the United States Office of Personnel Management, a type of premium pay that is paid to Federal law enforcement officers who are classified as GS-1811, criminal investigator or special agent. Due to the nature of their work, criminal investigators are required to work, or be available to work, substantial amounts of "unscheduled duty."
