Innovative Systems - Publishers produces report writing textbooks and tutorials and conducts customized, on-site workshops for law enforcement, fire services, public safety, private security and corrections. The company was founded in 1984 in California for the expressed purpose of keeping in print the textbook, For the Record: Report Writing in Law Enforcement, originally published in 1978 by John Wiley. In 1999 it changed ownership, bringing it back to Minnesota, the home of the primary authors.
