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 a completed, signed permission and release form from the agency, as well as completed, signed notice and consent forms for all recognizable individuals featured in the photo. Please see our website for important details regarding these required forms. 

All photos must be submitted by 8:00 PM EDT on Friday, November 3, 2017 via email to tellcops@usdoj.gov.
