DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WEB BASED CRIME RECORD INFORMATION SYSTEM

Globally, the need for good record keeping and information sharing practices cannot be over emphasized. Different agencies interact together sharing divers information for swift decision making. The aim of this project is to design and implement a web-based crime record information system. The development of the project was completed using the agile methodology which allows for quick prototyping and development with capacity for easy expansion latter on. The project was developed using PHP as the programming language. Cascading Style sheet was used to ensure user experience is engaging and interesting while MY SQL was used as the database for storage of information. This system was developed after a thorough study of the current manual system in the Nigeria Police system. Lastly, when properly implemented, this system will eradicate all the flows and short comings of the existing manual system to ensure smooth flow of information sharing and generally improve the security architecture within the country.
