Executive Summary
This is an application system to be used for recording crime data, relating to drug
information. It consists of a web-based application use to register a new case of drug and
drug-related matters. This system is in three sections namely,
 Director section
 Commissioners Section
 Operative Section
In all the above sections, each section is designed to perform a separate function.
 Director :
This section consists of users that I refer to as the super admins of the system.
They have the overall privilege to perform any task, which is the Director can
create, edit, update, view and delete any information on the system.
 Commissioners;
These are a group of users in the system that is responsible for creating a user
group call the operative; they can edit any record that are inputted by the
operatives. They have the privilege to assign cases to operatives. They are also
able to change the status of cases from start to end but they cannot delete any
case.
 Operatives;
These comprise a group of users that has the least privileges in the system. They
can register cases and be able to monitor the progress of their registered cases.

INTRODUCTION
1.1.
Background
The present world is technology-driven as it is employ by many fields in the
performance of their operation. In the case of law enforcement agencies, this is
evident in the use of automated criminal record information systems (CRIS)
worldwide to keep a record of crime and criminals involved.
Crime being an act against the law of a society is a threat to the well-being of the
populace and so, requires efficient and effective monitoring. For this reason, crime
information systems has been develop to achieve this purpose.
However, in Gambia Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s system employed is majorly
manual, which is, the use of pen and paper. These records are therefore susceptible
to destruction from pests and uncensored manipulation by both authorized and
unauthorized personnel.
This crude method has resulted in problems in the areas of authenticity, security,
retrieval, storage, and exchange of information within and outside the agency. This
project aims to design and implement a computerized real-time criminal record
information system for the Drug Law Enforcement Agency, The Gambia.
1.2.
Problem Statement
The need for proper record keeping in an electronic system for ease of retrieving and
save keeping of records is a very crucial thing to the agency.
Information are said to be the new oil of the 21st century, therefore, there are is a
need for proper recording keeping for any law Enforcement agency is necessary for
posterity .
For any law enforcement agency to keep up in this 21st century, there must be efforts
to acquiring a state-of-the-art crime record information system.
This project aims at building a solution that is take driven for the Drug Law
enforcement agency of the Gambia to keep up with international standards and best
practices.
1.3.
Aims and objectives
The proposed system aims to develop an improved data recording system to be
standardized. The proposed system can overcome all the limitations of the existing
system.
Final Year Project - CMIT

The system provides proper security. The existing system has several disadvantages
and many more difficulties to work with. The proposed system tries to eliminate or
reduce these difficulties up to some extent. The proposed system will help the user
to reduce the workload and mental conflict.
The proposed system helps the user to work user-friendly and he can easily do his or
her jobs without time lagging. This application system is to develop an application to
improve the standard information record management system.
This proposed system will help the agency with yearly statistic reports on all
registered cases on all types of drugs and the outcome of all cases in that physical
year.
Added to these objectives are;




To develop a database system that can be used to record criminal record

handle the investigation of cases at a globally acceptable standard.
1.7. Constraints and Assumptions
Throughout this project work, the major limitation encountered was; inadequate
information was the management has no clue about mordent information and
technology system to change from manual to automated system it was thought to
explained it to the management and the senior command about the ideas was not
forthcoming ,up to a time I came with information prototype for them to understand
and give go ahead to develop the propose system, thereby making it complex to
specify requirements of the system.
Inconsistency of data due to the manual system in place.
The inability of information interchange between units of different locations.
Final Year Project - CMIT

2.1. Literature Review
Criminal Record Information System is designed to transform the manual way of
searching, sorting, keeping, and accessing crime information (files) into the design
of record will be a solution to the problem being experienced by the current
The manual method of keeping.
Existing System
In the existing system only we can see the details of particular information about the
accused person but the information is not collaborating in our full query when
finding information on the particular accused person, the existing system has more
workload for the authorized person, but in the case of Proposed System, the user can
be registered in the web application when he or she is giving access right to register
a case of an accused person and send the crime report and about a particular accused
person.
The Problem under the Investigation of Existing System
 More workforce.
 Time-consuming.

Consumes a large volume of paring work.

Needs manual calculations.

No direct role for the higher officials.
Damage of machines due to lack of attention.

To avoid all these limitations and make the working more accurate the system
needs to be computerized.
2.2. Proposed System
The proposed system aims to develop a system of improved data collection and collating
information for the Drug Law Enforcement of the Gambia. The proposed system can
overcome all the limitations of the existing system. The system provides proper security
and reduces manual work. The existing system has several disadvantages and many
more difficulties to work well. The proposed system tries to eliminate or reduce these
difficulties up to some extent. The proposed system will help the user to reduce the
workload and mental conflict. The proposed system helps the user to work user-friendly
and he can easily do his jobs without time lagging. Project Report Online Crime file

3.1. Introduction
3.2. FEASIBILITY STUDY
The feasibility studies was made to see if the project upon completion would serve the
purpose of the Organization for work. Effort and time spent on it, and to foresee the
future of the project and its usefulness, the feasibility study of this proposed application
system is to see its workability, which will have a good impact on the agency, ability to
meet their user needs and effective use of resources. Thus, when a new application is
proposed, it normally goes through a feasibility study before it is approve.
Final Year Project - CMIT
PAGE 12
3.3. TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
The system is evaluate from the technical point of view first. The assessment of this
feasibility based on an outline design of the system requirement in the terms of input,
output, programs, and procedures by the agency during the feasibility research. Having
identified an outline system, the investigation was on to suggest the type of equipment,
required method developing the system, of running the system once it has been design.
Technical issues raised during the investigation are:

Does the existing technology sufficient for the suggest one?

Can the system expand if developed?
The project is to develop such that the necessary functions and performance has
achieved within the constraints. The project is develop with the latest technology.
Through the technology may become obsolete after some period, because never version
of same software supports older versions, the system may still be used. Therefore, there
are minimal constraints involved with this project. The system has been develop by
using PHP VERSON4, MYSQL DATABASE; CSS &HTML5, BOOTSTRAPE the project
is technically feasible for development.
3.4. ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
This developing project application system is justified by cost and benefit. Criteria to
ensure that effort is concentrated on the project, which will give best, return at the
earliest. One of the factors, which was a concern on the development of a new system, is
the cost it would require but it solved by the agency during feasibility studies.
The following are some of the important financial questions asked during the
preliminary investigation:
 The costs conduct a full system investigation.
 The cost of the hardware and software.
 The benefits in the form of reduced costs or fewer costly errors.
Since this project application system is develop for final project work, there is no
manual cost to spend for the proposed system. In addition, all the resources are already
available, which indicates the system is economically possible for development and
operational.
3.5. BEHAVIORAL FEASIBILITY
This includes the following questions:
 Is there sufficient support for the users?
Final Year Project - CMIT
PAGE 13

Will the proposed system cause harm?
The project would be beneficial because it satisfies the objectives when
developed. The behavioral aspects is considered very carefully and conclude that
the project is behaviourally feasible.
3.6. PROPOSE SOLUTION WITH REASON
The proposed solution for this new system has undergone a lot of critical thinking
to able to solve all the problem the existing has, that why before developing the
proposed system I made a lot of consultation with lots of our unit heads and asked
the question about the proposed system and I got a lot of feedback how the system
should be, with the directive from the entire management which I was giving a
go-ahead develop .because the agency has a problem in proper data record
keeping and with this twenty-first century many agencies have limited paperwork
because is time-consuming and many more.
Evaluation of the tool
The advantage of the tools are as follows

Structuring the data so that there is no repetition of data helps in saving.

To permit simple retrieval of data in response to query and report request.

To simplify the maintenance of the data through updates, insertions,
Deletions
To reduce the need to restructure or reorganize data which new application
Requirements arise.
The disadvantage of the tools are as follows


Sometimes structuring data, you need to make specifying your coding if not it will
still make some repetition or duplicates of data.

In retrieval of data sometimes, you need to put the specific accused personal
details like name or station in other to have correct data information.

Sometimes when deleting it will be asked your question to be are certain of the
action you want to perform if not hardly find that deleted information in the
backup
Final Year Project - CMIT
PAGE 14
The reason of the selecting those tools are because if you know how to work with
the PHP, HTML BOOSTRAPING CSS then you can develop any application and
make your correlation so that all the function work that why in used this tools in
developing my web application.

4.0. ANALYSIS
4.1. INTRODUCTION
System analysis is a process of gathering and interpreting facts, diagnosing
problems and the information to recommend improvements on the system. A
problem-solving activity requires intensive communication between the system
users and system developers. System analysis or study is an important phase of
any system development process. The system is studied to the minutest detail and
analyzed.
The system analyst plays the role of the interrogator and dwells deep into the
working of the present system. The system is viewed as a whole and the input to
the system is identified. The outputs from the organizations are traced to the
various processes. System analysis is concerned with becoming aware of the
problem, identifying the relevant and decisional variables, analyzing and
synthesizing the various factors, and determining an optimal or at least a
satisfactory solution or program of action. A detailed study of the process must
be made by various techniques like interviews, questionnaires, etc. The data
collected by these sources must be scrutinized to conclude. The conclusion is an
understanding of how the system functions.
This system is call the proposed system. Now the existing system is subjected to
close study and problem areas are identified. The designer now functions as a
problem solver and tries to sort out the difficulties that the agency faces. The
solutions given as proposals. The proposal is then weigh with the existing system
analytically and the best one is select. The proposal is present to the agency for
endorsement by the agency senior management. The proposed is review on
agency request and suitable changes is made. This loop ends as soon as the agency
is satisfied with the proposal. A preliminary study is a process of gathering and
interpreting facts, using the information for further studies on the system. The
preliminary study is a problem-solving activity that requires intensive
communication between the system users and system developers. It does various
feasibility studies. In the studies a rough figure of the system activities can be
obtain, from which the decision about the strategies to be followed for effective
system study and analysis can be taken

DESIGN:
Design is the first step into the development phase for any engineered product or system.
Design is a creative process. A good design is key to an effective system. The term
“design” is defined as “the process of applying various techniques and principles to
define a process or a system in sufficient detail to permit its physical realization”. It may
be defined as a process of applying various techniques and principles for defining a
device, a process, or a system in sufficient detail to permit its physical realization.
Software design sits at the technical kernel of the software engineering process and
applies regardless of the development paradigm that is used. The system design
develops the architectural detail required to build a system or product. As in the case of
any systematic approach, this software has undergone the best possible design phase
fine-tuning all efficiency, performance, and accuracy levels. The design phase is a
transition from a user-oriented document to a document to the programmers or
database personnel.
System design goes through two phases of development: Logical and Physical Design.
4.3. LOGICAL DESIGN:
The logical flow of a system and define the boundaries of a system. It includes the
following steps:
 Reviews the current physical system – its data flow, file content, volumes,
Frequencies, etc.
 Prepares output specifications – that is, determines the format, content, and
Frequency of reports.
 Prepares input specifications – format, content, and most of the input functions.
 Prepares edit, security, and control specifications.
 Specifies the implementation plan.
 Prepares a logical design walk-through of the information flow, output, input,
Controls, and implementation plan.
 Reviews benefits, costs, target dates, and system constraints.
Final Year Project - CMIT
PAGE 18
4.4. PHYSICAL DESIGN:
The physical system produces the working systems by defining the design specifications
that tell the programmers exactly what the developer must do. It includes the following
steps.
 Design the physical system.
 Specify input and output media. Design the database and specify backup
procedures.
 Design physical information flow through the system and a physical
design
 Plan system implementation.
4.5. DESIGN/SPECIFICATION ACTIVITIES:

Concept formulation.

Problem understanding.


High-level requirements proposals.
Feasibility study.
4.6. MODULE DESIGN
 Operatives
 Commissioner
 Director
The operatives module include,
 View criminal information:
 This module helps the operative to see the latest updates by the director
 Register new cases assigned to them.
The commissioner user module includes,
 Add operatives: This module helps the operatives to register cases of the
accused.
Final Year Project - CMIT
PAGE 19
 Assign cases to an operative.
 View updates of all cases that have been registered.
The Director modules include
 View crime status: This module allows the director to view the status of
the all crimes that you have posted earlier.
 Add and View feedback: This module helps the user to add and view
feedbacks
 Create user like commissioner and view all users profile
 He is the administrator who can edit, close, or cancel any cases register
 View and reply user crimes: This module helps the director the admin
to view and reply user’s crimes details
 New admin: This module used to add new admin
 Change password: This module helps the admin the director to update
his or her password
4.7. INPUT DESIGN
The input design is the link between the information system and the user. It comprises
the developing specification and procedures for data preparation and those steps are
necessary to put transaction data into a usable form for processing can be achieve by
inspecting the computer to read data from a written or printed document or it can occur
by having people keying the data directly into the system. The design of input focuses on
controlling the amount of input required, controlling the errors, avoiding delay,
avoiding extra steps, and keeping the process simple. The input is design in such a way
so that it provides security and ease of use with retaining privacy. Input Design
considered the following things:




What data should be given as input?
How the data should be arranged or code?
The dialog to guide the operating personnel in providing input.
Methods for preparing input validations and steps to follow when errors occur.
Final Year Project - CMIT
PAGE 20
4.8. OUTPUT DESIGN
Quality output is one, which meets the requirements of the end-user and presents the
information. In this system, the results of processing are communicate to the users and
another system through outputs. In output design, it is determined how the information
is to be displace for immediate need and the hard copy output. It is the most important
and direct source of information to the user. Efficient and intelligent output.
5.1. SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION, TESTING, AND RESULTS
System implementation uses the structure created during design and the results of
system analysis to construct system elements that meet the stakeholder
requirements and system requirements developed in the early life cycle phase.
It is the realization of an algorithm as a program or software through computer
programming. This infers the physical development of the system through coding.
The software testing was categorized into three sections namely database testing;
interface testing, and system testing.
5.2. DATABASE TESTING:
A database is a repository of data of various types. Because of this, many types of
integration and implementation errors may occur in large database systems, which
influence the system operation negatively. It is therefore of pivotal importance to
test the database to achieve a database that satisfies the ACID (atomicity,
consistency, isolation, durability) properties of a database management system.
Normalization carried out to eliminate redundancy. Below are some of the screenshots
of some tables in the database of the proposed system
Final Year Project - CMIT
PAGE 21
Table 2 shows the crime table that holds information on the crime. It contains the
crime id as the primary key and crime specification such as; name and section of the
constitution.
5.3. SYSTEM TESTING
This involves testing the various modules of the system individually, integrating the
various components into one, and testing the CRIS (criminal records information
system) as a whole. The CRIS consists of various modules. Some of them are.
5.4. LODING MODULE:
This is also known as the authentication module. This module is responsible for
logging users into the system. This is done by providing a correct and already
registered user id and password, without which the user is denied access to the
system
Final Year Project - CMIT
PAGE 22
6.1. SUMMARY
The project titled “Criminal Records Information System” is a web-based application.
This software provides a facility for keeping records of drug dealers. This software is
develop with scalability in mind. Additional modules can be easily added when
necessary. The software is develop with a modular approach. All modules in the system
have been teste with valid data and invalid data and everything work successfully. Thus,
the system has fulfilled all the objectives identified and can replace the existing system.
The project has been complete successfully with the maximum satisfaction of the
organization.
The constraints are met and overcome. The system is design as it was decide in the
design phase. The project gives a good idea of developing a full-fledged application
satisfying the user requirements. The system is very flexible and versatile. This software
has a user-friendly screen that enables the user to use it without any income
Lenience. Validation checks induced have greatly reduced errors. Provisions been made
to upgrade the software. The application has been teste with live data and has provided
a successful result. Hence, the software has proved to work efficiently. In the proposed
system, the user is provide with a choice of data screen, which are similar in formats to
the source documents. Data entry errors can be minimize through validity checks. After
the verification, only the data is place in the permanent database.
The software can be develop further to include a lot of modules because the proposed
system is develop on the view of the future, for example, we should develop the system
as a database-independent using JDBC so we can connect it to any other database, Now
the proposed system is based on PC and intranet but in the future, if we need to convert
it into internet then we need to change the front end only because we are developing this
based on OOP technology and most of the business logic’s are bounded in the class files
and module like reusable components.

7.1. CONCULSION
Nowadays everything is being computerize thanks the advent of technology. Manual
work usually consumes a lot of time and is error-prone. To make complaining easy and
manage crime records this application is very helpful. Thus, Criminal Records
information System overcomes most of the limitations of the existing system along with
being a very user-friendly application that will take the Drug law enforcement of the
Gambia to next level in proper and standing report keeping save and secure for posterity.
7.2. RECOMMENDATION
This project work is done on PHP verson4, MySQL database, Bootstrap, Css & Html5,
with the use of this application this program is running fully and I tested it and okay for
operational and it can go for a long way with proper maintenance, the best thing of this
application is user friendly and easy to operate in any environment. The user wants a
convenient set of commands to manage files of data or input information, copy and run
the application.
No matter where you are working, your computer will be easier to use and manage,
because these applications are user-friendly and easy to used and reliable powerful, and
durable. The main feature of this application it’s very easy when working with it when
it has an issue, you can use this platform like Php verson4 MySQL Database, bootstrap
CSS &html to resolve the issue without time-wasting that why I recommend this
application when I was developing this project because I know their functionality and
effectiveness
