The Security Incident Reporting System(SIRS) is a microcomputer-based software program demonstrated at the Metropolitan Transit Commission(MTC) in Minneapolis, MN. SIRS is designed to provide convenient storage, update, and retrieval of security incident data. Section 1 of the report describes the need for efficient and accurate security incident data reporting within the transit industry and discusses the role of automation in improving the reporting process. Section 2 of the report outlines the relevant characteristics of MTC and its security department. Section 3 details the design of the SIRS system and the functions it can perform. Lastly, Section 4 describes the applicability of SIRS to the transit industry in general and recommends future efforts to promote the use of automated reporting systems like SIRS.
