Criminal Record System

A Few Happy Clients

1. About the Project

The subject discussed in this paper relates to the process and the challenges faced in developing a mobile app using Objective-C and Java for iOS and Android respectively. Kolkata police have to face a number of challenges and they wanted to meet the same through a judicious blend of technological tools and human resources. The nature of cybercrime has undergone a sea-change and that is why they came to us and offered us the opportunity of creating this app. They wanted an app where the entire criminal records of the city can be stored and which can be accessed by all the employees of Kolkata police. The app had to be extremely secure as it will be handling all the details of the crime such as the criminal’s name, place, date of criminal activity and much more. Also, it had to be feature rich and user-friendly in design.

Client details

  • Name: Kolkata Police
  • Industry: Administrative and Legislative
  • Geographical Presence: Kolkata

Problem Statement

  • There was no single app from where Kolkata Police can check and view the details of the crimes as well as criminals
  • There were different web portals for viewing the details of different crimes. In order to check the details, users had to login every time they open a web portal. This made the whole process of viewing information regarding crimes extremely time consuming and difficult.

Objective

The Client has partnered with the DAPL team:

  • To create a mobile application which can be downloaded easily by any Police professional
  • To create an Admin support in order to organize the roles as well as permissions for the accessibility
  • To restructure, organize and merge the existing and previous database system

4. Challenges Faced

  • Legacy database system not properly oriented or managed: We had to collect information from several web portals that were meant for different purposes and put them into a single mobile application. Examples include a different web portal for FIRs and a different web portal for arrests
  • Accessibility was definitely an issue. Previously, the Kolkata Police had to login every time they enter a web portal. We had to make the process easy by enabling them to get information about all the crimes and related issues just by logging into the mobile application once
