"Just wanted to let you guys know that mobile forms is the best software I have seen for Law Enforcement. I am using just about every application of mobile forms to include crash reports,offense reports, arrest reports, etc..I am in the process of training the other members of our agency on how to use these applications and the ease of use. Coming from a supervisor's stand point, it is great that I can check out reports for approval sitting in my patrol vehicle and not have to go to the office for this task.
