IRIS Bulletins, at no cost to every agency.

IRIS Bulletins is how your agency sends BOLOs, officer safety notices, wanted and missing persons, and roll-call training. Fill in a few fields and it becomes a flyer with your agency's logo and colors. It reaches every phone, desktop and MDT, and you can see who has read it.

IRIS Bulletins

Stop digging through email.

Information only helps if it reaches the people who need it, when they need it. In most agencies, the day's bulletins arrive as email attachments mixed in with everything else. The person who needs the plate number is in a patrol car, and the attachment is buried three screens down.

IRIS makes sure everyone in the agency is up to date with the latest information. A bulletin goes out once, looks like it came from your agency, and lands on every phone and desk that needs it. Day shift, night shift, the detective in the field and the deputy in a dead zone all see the same thing.

It started in 2017, when Huntington Beach PD called us about bulletins buried in email. It has been part of IRIS ever since.

What’s included

Bulletins, done right.

  • Bulletins that look like your agency: your logo, your colors, your layout
  • BOLOs, officer safety, wanted and missing persons, roll-call training, general notices
  • Sent to the whole agency or just the groups who need it
  • On every phone through the IRIS 4PS app, and on any desktop or MDT
  • Saved on the phone, so it is still there when the signal is not
  • People acknowledge they have read it, so you know it landed
  • A searchable history, instead of a pile of old emails
  • Share with neighboring agencies once you are verified
