Abstract

The inefficiencies of manual crime tracking systems in Nigeria necessitate the development of a computerized crime tracking information system. This study aims to design and implement such a system to provide accurate and timely crime data, enhancing the ability to track criminals and improve overall crime management. The proposed system integrates data from various police stations into a central database, enabling quick access and efficient resource allocation. By automating the documentation and retrieval processes, the system addresses issues such as poor data storage, loss of important information, and slow response times. The system captures detailed information about crime suspects from the initial report to court prosecution, supporting decision-making and trend analysis. Microsoft Visual Basic programming language and Microsoft Access database were used to develop the system, chosen for their user-friendly interface and robust data management capabilities. Rigorous testing was conducted to ensure functionality and performance, with unit testing of individual components and system testing of the entire setup. The implementation of this computerized system demonstrates significant improvements in managing and utilizing crime data compared to the manual methods, offering a robust tool for enhancing law enforcement efficiency and public safety in Nigeria.
