Legacy replacement
PatrolOS vs M.I.R.S
M.I.R.S — the Mobile Information Reporting System — was built for Windows XP laptops running in patrol vehicles. PatrolOS is the modern, mobile-first replacement: officers work from their phone, dispatch runs a live SOC, and clients see everything in real time.
