The FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, published monthly since 1932, will discontinue printing hard copy issues after December 2012. We are enhancing the magazine’s online presence with an updated webpage. The sleeker-looking online format will improve readability and search capability, maximize accessibility, provide more opportunities for readers and authors to communicate, and be available on mobile devices. The Bulletin will continue to produce academically renowned, peer-reviewed content for its readers.

We will release one or more articles per week on the webpage and offer numerous sections featuring articles on specific topics, archived issues, and departments, such as Patch Calls and Bulletin Notes. You will continue to have the option of getting monthly e-mail alerts about the Bulletin with links to the webpage. These alerts, available by clicking on the red “Get FBI Updates” in the upper right corner and selecting the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, will let you know what articles have appeared on the webpage that month.
Although we will continue accepting longer articles based on the previous guidelines (2,000-3,500 words) for the time being, we encourage authors to also submit shorter articles (600-1,200 words) better suited for the revised online format. The longer articles will be published in parts. A revised version of our author guidelines is now available on this website. If you ever have been intimidated by writing a lengthy article for the Bulletin, this is your opportunity to write and submit a shorter one. A brief article featuring a successful administrative or adjudicated investigative initiative of your department would be welcome.
If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail us at our new address leb@ic.fbi.gov. We look forward to hearing from you.
