Project brief

Law enforcement and management of order in society is one of the most important aspect for any country/state to survive. Police department is given this responsibility. The type of issues they deal with are varied ranging from most naive ones like local quarrel to international level terrorism and crime rackets. And the number of these issues is humongous. Everyday 100s of such issues are recorded at each police station. And there are more than 1000s of police stations in just one state. All these cases are to be handled carefully keeping in mind the Human rights. Police not only fights crime it also has to see that no more crime happens but curing it's root cause. Conducting workshops with people (well this might differ in its implementation from officer to office).
Hence there are two facets for working of police department.

1. Direct dealing with public/criminal/victims
2. Dealing with the information captured/generated/modified when a case is registered

The first aspect is very subjective and sensitive as it definitely requires human intervention and introduction of a machine/device will not work.
However second aspect is very open to introduction of a system with the aid of latest technology to bring efficiency and accuracy in the working of department and officers so that the first aspect can be handled more appropriately.

Given this background I propose an information assimilation system for the police department.

I have yet not finalized the type of information and the target group within the department. This can only be done after in depth study of the working of their system.
The system can be employed either for crime analysis or crime prevention for two different styles of policing activity- proactive or reactive.
