Online Crime Reports & Records Maintenance System
Abstract
The
Crime Report envisages information sharing within the organization and across
the States in the country especially the information on Crime & Criminals
for effective working of Police. For integration at National level, the
following Seven Integrated Police Forms standardized by National Crime Records
Bureau have been adopted as the basis for Crime Report Crime Module
development. These integrated forms cover most of the information needed by
Criminal Justice System. And the database records the following information:-
1. FIR
(First Information Register) (act, section, occurrence, complaint, accused
property detail, brief complaint)
2. Crime Detail Form (type of crime, features,
physical evidence, patch witness, place of crime)
3.
Property Search & Seizure
4.
Arrest/Court Surrender (arrest details, bail details, personal items
recovered)
5. Charge
Sheet & Case Disposal Reports (charge sheet information, property
recovered/ seized, and action taken)
6. Court
Disposal (adult, juvenile, punishment)
7. Result
of Appeals
8. Other
registers (interrogation details, case diary, witness details, remand diary,
case calendar etc.)
Effective
coordination among different departments / entities in criminal justice system
i.e. Forensic Science Laboratories and Prosecution Department is being ensured
by interfacing for access and transfer of information between departments –
thus making it easier to collect inputs needed for proper and quicker
investigation of a case. Crime Report is being integrated with the fully
computerized Fingerprint Analysis Criminal Tracing System (FACTS). This also
makes obligatory for these Departments to respond promptly improving their
accountability.
The
solution framework has been tested in the 4 Pilot locations. The feedback from
the Pilot locations has been analyzed and the new versions and release plan of
the solution framework is in place based on the feedback. The proof of concept
in terms of functionality and with respect to technology has been done and now
the solution can be replicated in all the locations within the State.
As Application Software is an evolving process
it is highly difficult to envisage and crystalize the functional requirements
in one phase. Continuous improvement based on the environmental changes and
functional, cross functional requirements, inter-functional requirements is
under progress to attain enhanced usability. After using Crime Report (version
1.0 and version 1.1), the Field Officers have suggested refinements and
additional requirements in Crime Report. This feedback was examined on the
feasibility and end use and M/s CMC were advised to incorporate these suggestions
and refinements. Accordingly, CMC duly incorporating these features released
Crime Report (version 2.0) and loaded in all the Systems in Hyderabad City
successfully.
About The Project:
Current System:
In
the manual System, registration of FIR was not done 100% accurately for various
reasons. Certain mandatory information needed
was also not collected either the complainant furnished vague
information or much thought was not given to the importance of the information
which would have helped later in speeding up the investigation process.
In
the manual system the part of the force was engaged for carrying out
unproductive jobs such as delivering FIRs to higher officials, collecting
Postmortem reports, wound certificates etc. They were also utilized for
entering, filling individual registers, preparing periodical reports etc. Work
force is now used for the purpose for which they were trained (Policing) and
not on unproductive tasks.
Solution:
Not
only the above mentioned problems, there are many other such problems which
decreases the efficiency of the department to provide right justice to the
common people. The solution for this problem is to create the crime reports by
sharing the information within the organization and across the States in the
country especially the information on Crime & Criminals which help in
effective working of Police.
This
project is all about Criminal Justice System which envisages information
sharing within the organization and across the States in the country especially
the information on Crime & Criminals for effective working of Police. For
integration at National level, the following Seven Integrated Police Forms
standardized by National Crime Records Bureau have been adopted as the basis
for Criminal Justice System Crime Module development. These integrated forms
cover most of the information needed by Criminal Justice System, and the
database records the following information:-
Proposed System:
It
is the Citizen who is benefited a lot through Crime Report. In the manual
System, registration of FIR was not done 100% accurately for various reasons.
Certain mandatory information needed was
also not collected either the complainant furnished vague information or much
thought was not given to the importance of the information which would have
helped later in speeding up the investigation process. The System’s insistence
for certain mandatory information at the time of registration of complaint
automatically improved the responsiveness of the Police and in turn is building
up sensitivity. Once a complaint is registered, it is electronically
transferred to the higher authorities. Consequently, the scopes for
delinquencies such as non-acceptance of a complaint, loss of track of case, etc
are totally eliminated.
The
transparency in the system helps in enhancing public interface and confidence.
It is assisting in expediting the progress of investigating process culminating
in dispensing timely justice and ultimately bringing the criminal activity
under control.
Crime
– analysis guides the Investigating Officer on the right track. Data available
and analyzed information from the system enables a new comer to get vast
information with least delay and allows him to plan and settle down in his work
at the earliest.
The
present system insists for systematic collection of data without missing the
important details. Documents are seen by supervisory officials. The senior
officers are in a position to keep track of all the cases registered, including
those transferred.
The Police personnel are not keen in
using third degree methods to extract information from the accused. As the
system is in a position to give the details of arrests made at various Police
Stations, which helps the investigating Officer to elicit the information from
the accused without resorting to human right violations thus making the life of
Police Officer more content.
In
the manual system, when property is recovered by some other Police Station
other than the PS where the crime is registered, it was a tedious task to match
the PS with the lost property and the PS which recovered the property. Today
Criminal Justice System can match the lost and recovered property and there by
pin point the real efficiency / productivity of the individual officer / Unit Productivity of men is established with
correct supporting data making it a reality to evaluate the performance and
productivity of Officials on scientific lines. This is now being realized
through Crime Report.
Before
computerization, the part of the force was engaged for carrying out
unproductive jobs such as delivering FIRs to higher officials, collecting
Postmortem reports, wound certificates etc.
They
were also utilized for entering, filling individual registers, preparing
periodical reports etc. Work force is now used for the purpose for which they
were trained (Policing) and not on unproductive tasks.
When
a Grave Crime is registered by the Police station, System immediately transfers
the Grave Crime details to the Server at Unit Headquarters which in turn by
reverse dialing process alerts the concerned Officers up the line of Police
Station thus improving the sensitivity of the System manifold. Criminal Justice
System has progressed steadily and its usage has stabilized in the 4 Pilot Units
viz. Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam Cities and Srikakulam District and
two other units Cyber Abad & Rangareddy.
