House rules
- No CJI, no bid documents, no passwords, no configs, no contract PDFs.
- Roast the product, not the other shop.
- Vendors never get member access. Ever. No vendor ads.
- Ask architecture and pain, not pricing dumps.
- Membership is free. Access is gated: agency email, review, MFA when enabled.
Not this
IAPST is not a CJIS system of record and not a CAD event bus. It is a member directory of product families plus a member forum. Patch versions, IPs, and exports are out of scope.
