MILITARY POLICE Writer's Guide
MILITARY POLICE is a professional-development bulletin designed to provide a forum for
exchanging information and ideas within the Army law enforcement and investigation community.
We include articles by and about offcers, enlisted Soldiers, warrant offcers, Department of the Army
civilian employees, and others. Writers may discuss training, current operations and exercises, doctrine,
equipment, history, personal viewpoints, or other areas of general interest to military police. Articles
may share good ideas or explore better ways of doing things.
Articles should be concise, straightforward, and in the active voice. If they contain attributable
information or quotations not referenced in the text, provide appropriate endnotes. Text length should
not exceed 2,000 words (about eight double-spaced pages). Shorter, after action type articles and
reviews of books on military police topics are also welcome.
Include photos (with captions) and/or line diagrams that illustrate information in the article. Please
do not include illustrations or photos in the text; instead, send each of them as a separate fle. Do not
embed photos in Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Word. If illustrations are in PowerPoint, avoid
excessive use of color and shading. Save digital images at a resolution no lower than 200 dpi. Images
copied from a Web site must be accompanied by copyright permission.
Provide a short paragraph that summarizes the content of the article. Also include a short
biography, including your full name, rank, current unit, and job title; a list of your past assignments,
experience, and education; your mailing address; a fax number; and a commercial daytime telephone
number.
Articles submitted to MILITARY POLICE must be accompanied by a written release by the author's
unit or activity security manager prior to publication. All information contained in the article must be
unclassifed, nonsensitive, and releasable to the public. MILITARY POLICE is distributed to military
units worldwide and is also available for sale by the Government Printing Offce. As such, it is readily
accessible to nongovernment or foreign individuals and organizations.
We cannot guarantee that we will publish all submitted articles, photographs, or illustrations. They
are accepted for publication only after thorough review. If we plan to use your article in an upcoming
issue, we will notify you. Therefore, it is important to keep us informed of changes in your e-mail
address or telephone number. All articles accepted for publication are subject to grammatical and
structural changes as well as editing for style.
MILITARY POLICE is published semiannually in March and September. Submission dates for
articles are 1 December and 1 June. Send submissions by e-mail to
