Security
For site security and to ensure that this service remains available to all
users, this government computer system employs software programs to monitor
network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change
information, deny service, otherwise cause damage or access non-public
information. Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information
are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the United States criminal
code (18 U.S.C. 1030). Information regarding possible violations of law may be
provided to law enforcement officials.
Portable Document Format (PDF) files
Many files available on the COPS Office website are provided in PDF (Portable
Document Format) files. Files ending in .pdf are PDF files. This format
preserves the look and feel of the original printed page.
In order to view PDF files on your computer, you must have a PDF reader program
installed. Due to Federal requirements for accessibility, PDF files on our site
require version 6 or higher. If you do not already have such a reader, you may
download a free reader at Adobe's website.
About Our Web Survey
During your visit to COPS Office Web site, you may be randomly selected to
take a customer-satisfaction survey. Your survey response will help us improve
our Web site and our service to you.
If you are randomly selected, a pop-up window will lead to the survey. The
survey uses a temporary "cookie" that may appear as an extra button in
the taskbar at the bottom of your screen. The cookie is erased as soon as you
leave and no personal or identifying information is gathered.
If you have set up your Internet browser to ignore or disable pop-ups, you
will not be able to be randomly selected for the survey. If you have disabled
JavaScript in your browser, but are interested in responding to our survey if
randomly selected, you will want to enable JavaScript and reload the Web site
now.
If you get the survey pop-up request, please consider completing it for us.
Thank you for your time and comments.
