Abstract

The Crime Management System is a cutting-edge web application created to use technology to
improve public safety and expedite crime reporting. It provides a strong and engaging platform for
reporting and handling illegal activity, catering to two main user bases: administrative authorities
and the general public.

Through a user-friendly interface, the technology makes it easy for citizens to report crimes while
guaranteeing that their information is safely kept in the database. An interactive dashboard with a
heatmap of India that highlights crime density and identifies high-risk locations is part of the Admin
Panel, which is intended for government officials. This graphic aids in the efficient distribution of
resources by authorities. Furthermore, data analysis tools improve reporting and decision-making
skills by offering tabular and graphical representations of crime information.

In order to guarantee prompt response, the system includes automated email notifications to the
appropriate authorities following report submission. Users can examine reports based on a variety
of factors, including location, crime type, or date, thanks to advanced filtering and sorting tools.

The Emergency Button, which is intended for women in crisis, is a noteworthy feature. When this
function is enabled, the user's current position is shared instantly with authorities, reliable contacts,
and local police stations. In order to get proximity-based notifications, citizens can sign up as
guardians, creating a network of supportive neighbors.

An AI chatbot is also included in the system to help users with questions and reporting procedures.
The Crime Management System solves issues with conventional crime reporting by automating
procedures and offering real-time insights, guaranteeing user safety, efficiency, and transparency.

By bridging the gap between technology and crime management, this project seeks to empower
citizens, decrease manual errors, and increase public trust in law enforcement.
