Integrated Unified Crime Information Management System

Abstract

Crime detection, investigation and prosecution are usually carried out by the various law enforcement agencies saddled with such responsibilities. In this study, an integrated web based unified system was developed and implemented for the five (5) agencies (Nigerian Police Force, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Economic Financial Crime Commission, Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, Department of State Services) to enhance domiciliation of crime data into one system for effective information sharing among the five agencies. The methodology adopted for the system design is Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) and the tools used are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL. The result obtained shows that with the integration of the five agencies, accurate records of suspects and victims were timely shared by the various agencies. There is also an effective collaboration among the various agencies in crime detection, investigation and prosecution of suspects.
