articles are accepted and appreciated. Photos may be submitted in b&w or color. Fillers and short articles are also

E-mail proposals

for reply. Please include a mailing address as well.
We accept
articles on a speculative basis so even if we have expressed an interest in, or
given you the go-ahead on, a proposed article, we cannot guarantee its
publication.
Editorial Calendar:
COP does not use a traditional Editorial Calendar so that issues can be as
topical as possible. Two issues that do have feature topics include: the
May/June issue which focuses on Police Memorial Day; the September/October
issue is the Annual Buyer’s Guide.
Press Releases:
Newsworthy press releases will be considered. We do not publish product
releases.
