IRIS Bulletins.

Agency-branded bulletins in front of every officer who needs them.

Build a bulletin once and it looks like it came from your agency. It goes to the people who need it, on the desktop, the MDT and the phone, and you can see who has read it.

No cost

IRIS Bulletins

Bulletins get lost in email.

Most agencies still send bulletins as PDFs attached to email. They pile up, nobody can search them, and nobody can tell who actually read the one that mattered.

IRIS turns each bulletin into a styled flyer that can be searched, mapped and acknowledged, and shared with the agencies around you.

01

A flyer in your agency’s style

Fill in the fields and IRIS lays out a letter-size flyer with your logo, colors and layout. Single photo, photo grid or weekly roundup. Print it or save it as a PDF.

02

Everything current, in one list

Search by plate, name or case number. Filter by type and date. The newest and most important bulletins sit at the top.

03

Read and acknowledged

Officers confirm they have read a bulletin, and supervisors see who has and who hasn’t. Follow a bulletin to hear when it changes.

On the map

Bulletins with a location show as pins, so a patrol officer can see what happened nearby. Restricted bulletins stay off the map.

And more

Shared with partner agencies

Partnered agencies exchange bulletins directly. A public link only works for a bulletin marked for public release.

Roll-call briefings

Put the bulletins that matter into the day’s briefing, with updates for anyone following them.

Who uses it

  • Patrol officers
  • Detectives

How it fits

Bulletins are where IRIS starts. The rest of IRIS, from Ask IRIS to accreditation, works from the same people, groups and security levels.

One platform. Use just what you need. You stay in control.

No cost · Provided to every public safety organization in the country

IRIS Bulletins are a no-cost piece of infrastructure your agency can depend on.
