Submission guide

The AFP’s Marketing Communications Team uses this guide to assess the potential value of involvement in film and television productions, and other projects, for our agency and the community. The remit of what constitutes a project that the team would work on is one that promotes proactive brand messaging and that would enhance public sentiment towards positioning the AFP as an employer of choice. Value is also assessed in terms of awareness, education, public reassurance and/or the potential to assist in solving a crime. We consider the likely impact on operations; resources, including the availability of police officers and protective service officers; and any legal, security and confidentiality restrictions.
