**The Community Policing in Action Photo Contest is Back!**
  October 2018 | Volume 11 | Issue 10

The COPS Office is pleased to announce that the fifth annual  Community Policing in Action Photo Contest is now open and accepting  submissions. This widely anticipated contest provides the opportunity for state,  local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies to share creative and  spirited community policing moments with the law enforcement community and the  public.

For the fifth year in a row, law enforcement agencies are  invited to submit one photo that reflects the department’s positive community  engagement and trust building with community members, stakeholders, local  government, and others.

The COPS Office will select 12 winning photos to be featured  on the COPS Office website and its Twitter and Facebook headers for one month  during the 2019 calendar year. The winners may also be featured in this  newsletter, the Community Policing Dispatch, as well as in a COPS Office issued  press release.

Submissions must include: 
- An original, signed permission and release form  from the law enforcement agency
- An original, signed photograph consent, waiver  and release form from each recognizable individual in the photo

Please see our website to obtain these required forms and  for more important details about complete submissions.

Photos must be submitted by 8:00 PM EST on Monday, November  5, 2018 via email to tellcops@usdoj.gov.

The complete contest rules, terms and conditions, and frequently  asked questions can be found on our website. Winners will  be notified no later than December 28, 2018 by email.  All reproductions of the image will include  the photo credit information provided.
