 ABSTRACT
Crime Report and Management System using finger printer is a Completely Web Based
Application which is applies to all police stations, court and airlines across the country.
Nowadays, Crimes are happened over the world, and it is in maximum case. Crime Report and
Management System is available offline as well as online with the active participation of the
system. The main purpose of Crime Report and Management System using finger printer is to
reduce the cases of crime because of recording criminal scenario with integrate user fingerprint
and store on database. The project specially moves towards crime record and verification. This
study is help to provide an investigation of crime and provide effective and efficient approaches to
the investigation. The development of software includes the process of planning, requirement
analysis, system analysis and deployment and maintenance Crime Record and management would
really help the complainant and the authority to communicate privately. This software provides a
facility for reporting crimes online, registering complaints, entering missing persons, showing
most wanted person details, news reporting. Police and police will receive the complaint can send
a message regarding the status of the complaint to the user who filed the complaint. Police can
use this software to manage different crimes, judge use for applying sentence and modifying
criminal status and airline officer can see specific criminal that not allow to move other country.
Police, judge and airline officers gets their login password from the admin directly. A MongoDB
must be maintained for the temporary storage of the database to enable the processing facilities.
This paper describes how simple react coding has been used to design the website. Finger print
reader available on every police stations for verification purpose. Then we took a look at the
challenges ahead and opportunities in this fundamental technology that is all set to revolutionize

 CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Study
The need for good record-keeping and information-sharing practices has taken on great significance
in today's global environment. Not only do well-organized records provide important internal
information (i.e., business operations and case management support— not to forget the official
memory of an agency's investigations), law enforcement agencies are now required to communicate
agency-to-agency and across continents to protect the Nation's citizens. Nothing is more necessary
to accomplishing that mission than having accessibility to accurate and timely records. Calls for
service records and investigative, arrest, criminal identification, detention, and even civil records
hold data that by themselves mean little; however, once pieced together with information from other
jurisdictions, the result can help with all levels of investigations and aid in safeguarding the Nation.

In Ethiopia there is no any computer based method to handle day to day activities of crimes happen.
Since now we are trying to develop a system that conveys good ways to handle those things. The
Crime Report and Management System (CRMS) provides optimal as possible as plan for crime
reports and managements. So many countries are faced with these problems of crime reporting and
managements of handlings. Now days the members of peoples make crime are highly developed
and educated than police officers. To make more peoples are concerned to this and help to stop
crimes this system can improve knowledge methods of all citizen become crime fighter.
1.2. Statement of the Problem
Since the current system is file based, not using fingerprint reader for integrate criminal data and
not computerized ways it faces so many problems include technological, transport, material and
lack of moderate knowledge those all problems are listed under the following. Those are:
 Criminal peoples have high knowledge of technology
 Hard to gather information concerning crimes
 Lack moderated materials
 Collecting the crime effect is very hard
 Police officers are very far from technology
 Police officers force and the society are not equals
1
  Lack of evidences after suspected criminal
 Unable to generated automatic crimes report
 Lack of technology
 Lack of transportations
 Use file based system that consume time and labor
 Unable to generated automatic crimes report
 Persons make crime is more developed in technology than police officers
 Lack of evidences after suspected criminal
 Persons make crime is more developed in technology than police officers
1.3. Objective of Project
1.3.1. General objective
The main objectives of this projects is to improve the crime reports and managements system by
using computer and web based system and making the system more interactive and user-friendly.
1.3.2. Specific Objective
To achieve the above mentioned general objective, the project will also address the following
specific objectives.
 To make detector auto gain information
 To change the current system of paper based to computer and web based one.
 To store, provide information of crime managements.
 To minimize let reaching and losing information
 To reduce time consuming
 To minimize delays of information and evidence gathering
 To make more peoples fight crimes easily and readily
 To make crime awareness among the local community.
1.4. Significance of Project
By digitizing and storing fingerprint data in an online system, law enforcement agencies can quickly
search and match prints against a database of known offenders. This expedites the investigation
process and facilitates the apprehension of suspects. Online systems streamline record-keeping
processes by automating data entry and retrieval tasks. This reduces the paperwork and
administrative burden on law enforcement personnel, allowing them to focus more on investigative

work. And also
 Police office can access their daily working zones easily using their computer.
 The placement of police officer will be effective.
 Minimize wastage of resources including energy.
 Helps the investigating police officer to get previous information.
 The system is portable.
 Helps to initiate investigation on priority basis.
 Enhances accuracy of information to be collected for effective use.
 Helps to perform the speedy trials.
1.5. Scope and Limitations of a Project
1.5.1. Scope
As a general the scope of our system is as follows:
 Ensure data’s accuracy.
 Minimize manual data entry.
 Greater efficiency and better services.
 Generates crime reports.
 Greater help for police about criminal detail information
 Fast for connection between police, judge and airline officer
1.5.2. Limitation
Even though this project focuses on the crime reporting and managements systems it doesn’t include
the following because of time to do all this
 It doesn’t bring the crime person to the court
 It doesn’t work without connection except reading article book
 It doesn’t upload videos or image but capture and send online
 It doesn’t help for people for reporting report for police station
