Regarding editorial guidelines for authors, we ask that articles be submitted on time in a Microsoft Word document and that they not be longer than we request. Articles usually range from 800-1,200 words in length. We have a great deal of information that is published each issue, so it is vital that articles are succinct and to the point. CPOA and the editor review the articles closely for content and may edit them for space and grammar. We use Associated Press as the grammar style book, particularly when it comes to punctuation.
At the end of your article, please include a two-sentence biography about yourself that includes your title, place of employment and contact information (phone number and email address). Our readers may wish to contact you. Regarding images, please send a headshot of yourself with the article. Images must be high resolution (300 dpi) and saved as a jpeg or tiff file. When taking pictures using a digital camera, please ensure that the setting on the camera is set to the finest or best setting. This way the image will be taken at a higher resolution and, therefore, more suitable for magazine print. If images are shot at a lower setting, the resolution may be too low. This means the image will have to be printed small, if at all. Enlarging low res images causes the images to be very blurry.
Please send articles to: Tricia Schomus, Managing Editor of the
California Peace Officer,
tschomus@cpoa.org, 555 Capitol Mall, Suite 1495, Sacramento, CA 95814 or submit online.
