ABSTRACT
The goal of this project is to use the Enugu criminal investigating department to automate the Nigerian police’s current criminal records. The goal was to create long-lasting criminal records and prevent them from being lost. In order to minimize redundancy in the compilation, its friendliness in reacting to user exhibits, and its dependability and efficiency in tracking down criminals, a structural database management system (DBMS) was utilized in its construction. Another notable aspect of this system is that it allows users to obtain tangible copies or printouts of any relevant document, as well as communicate with the system. Tracking is the process of observing people or objects in motion and sending a timely ordered sequence of location data to a model, such as one capable of depicting the motion on a display. The traditional and age-old intelligence and criminal record-keeping system has failed to meet the demands of today’s crime scenario. Manual methods do not give precise, dependable, and comprehensive data 24 hours a day, nor do they aid trend forecast or decision-making.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Man is social and gregarious by nature, and he cannot exist alone. To maintain peace and harmony in society, man must devise a code of conduct and a set of laws to govern the behavior of society’s members. Protection of lives and property is ensured when people value these rules of behaviour and laws.
In general, tracking entails seeing people or objects in motion and sending a timely ordered sequence of location data to a model, such as one capable of representing the motion on a display.
The traditional and age-old intelligence and criminal record-keeping system has failed to meet the demands of today’s crime situation.
Manual methods do not give precise, dependable, and comprehensive data 24 hours a day, nor do they aid trend forecast or decision-making. It also leads to poorer productivity and inefficient manpower usage. The appropriate application of information technology is the solution to this ever-increasing problem. Computer-generated records are used as an interface for integrating and retrieving enormous volumes of location-based data in the Crime Tracking Information System. Police officers can use a crime tracking system to properly plan for emergency response, set mitigation priorities, analyze previous incidents, and forecast future events. When there are no leads, a crime tracking system can assist investigators in identifying prospective culprits. Agencies can allocate resources more swiftly and effectively if they can access and digest information fast while exhibiting it in a spatial and visual medium. Information concerning the location of a crime, event, suspect, or victim is typically vital in determining the manner and scale of the response in the mission-critical nature of law enforcement. Crime-fighting software aids in the coordination of large amounts of location-based data from various sources. It allows the user to layer data and see the information that is most important to the issue or mission at hand.
It is used by police departments all over the world for crime investigation, criminal tracking, traffic safety, community policing, Intranet/Internet mapping, and a variety of other duties.
By assessing multiple, seemingly unrelated factors and displaying them together in one interface, a crime tracking system assists investigators in determining prospective crime sites. It also assists them in mapping inmate demographics, facilities, and equipment in order to ensure inmate safety by segregating gang members, identifying high-risk or potentially violent inmates, and locating hazardous spots in an area. It reduces the potential for internal violence. Traditionally, paper and pen have been used to facilitate these activities. Police officers now have the capacity to generate a crime report that is directly related to the current scenario. Police departments gather huge volumes of data from a variety of sources, including 911 calls, arrests, first information reports, and daily reports. For investigators, supervisors, and administrators, the same data is a strong decision-making tool.
