				The Community Policing Dispatch is the award-winning e-newsletter of the COPS Office
  The *Community Policing Dispatch* is the award-winning e-newsletter of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office). Produced monthly since 2007, the *Dispatch* has been advancing the COPS Office’s mission by educating its readers about issues pertaining to the implementation and practice of community policing. The *Dispatch* publishes a wide range of articles, but its primary aims are to showcase best practices in implementing community policing and to give readers the opportunity to learn from their peers. The *Dispatch* has twice been honored by the National Association of Government Communicators with Gold Screen awards for outstanding e-Newsletter (2009) and outstanding Web Article (2010).
