Execution of Web-Based Crime and Criminals Tracking System to Enable Security and Quick Access

Abstract

This project work automates web based crime and criminals tracking system. The system is web based application that enable user at the international hotels and at the four police office stations to communicate each other and with district police office. All user of the system are communicating through the internet service provider infrastructure. But if the internet is down, the system will work offline. The system and its database is configured or replicated to the police station’s mini server computers at each woredas. Whenever the network is available the mini servers synchronize data with the central server at the district police office. Before we develop this project the international hotels daily fill form about their customers booked in and send by human labor to the nearby police station. The CCTS alleviates this challenge. Now, using our web system the hotel manager or receptionist access the customer booked in hotel registration page from the server, fills and hit submit button. The information is submitted to the police office through the network and saved to their computer at the same time. While the data is being submitted the data is checked against the criminal’s list using primary key or unique number, if criminal or suspects found alert or report will be displayed to the system administrator with detail information. The prototype has been tested with data from Adama city district police office. It has been observed that the system successfully registers crime and criminals, lost property, international hotels; customer booked in hotel, generates reports and provides search facilities. In addition to these, customers are not expected to go to the four police stations or woredas if they want to register lost property. As lost property, crime and criminals registered at a station it will be shared across the network. It has also been shown that the system facilitates to view the status of cases, knowledge bases. This system promotes the manual works into digital. It reduces the time, produces accurate results and also implements security for the information.
