Real Time Alert System based on Crime Area Mapping

Aim: 

     The objective of this system is to provide real-time alerts for users based on crime-prone areas, allowing citizens to report complaints and enabling police verification through an integrated mapping and notification system.

Abstract:

      The Real-Time Alert System based on Crime Area Mapping is an innovative approach to enhancing public safety by leveraging advanced technologies such as geospatial mapping, real-time data processing. This system aims to alert citizens, law enforcement agencies, and security services about crime occurrences in specific geographical areas, enabling them to take timely actions to prevent further incidents and ensure better safety.

     Using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, the system visualizes crime data on a map. Citizens within these high-risk zones are notified instantly via mobile alerts, enabling them to take precautions or avoid certain areas. Law enforcement agencies receive detailed information about crime events, helping them allocate resources efficiently, patrol high-risk areas, and respond faster to emerging threats.

     By integrating real-time crime data, geographic mapping, and predictive analytics, this system contributes to a safer environment by providing actionable alerts to both the public and authorities. It also allows for better urban planning and policy-making by understanding the spatial distribution of crimes. Ultimately, the Real-Time Alert System based on Crime Area Mapping is an essential tool for improving public safety and law enforcement response times in urban areas.

Existing System:

      Current crime alert systems provide basic notifications but lack real-time updates and comprehensive user feedback. Existing systems mostly focus on crime data without integrating citizen complaints or police verification. The systems often fail to accurately map crime hotspots or notify residents in real-time. Additionally, many existing systems do not prioritize timely responses or police actions. This results in delays in criminal investigations and safety concerns.

Disadvantages:

1. Lack of real-time updates and notifications for users.
2. Insufficient integration between citizen complaints and police responses.
3. Ineffective mapping of crime-prone areas.
4. Delay in verification of user-submitted complaints by authorities.

Proposed System:

      The proposed system offers an integrated platform for reporting crimes, mapping crime-prone areas, and ensuring timely police verification of complaints. Citizens can report incidents via a mobile app built in Android Studio, which sends notifications and real-time updates to police officers through a Spring Boot backend. The system uses geolocation features to pinpoint crime areas on a map and sends alerts to users based on their proximity to these areas. The app also supports police officers’ verification of complaints, ensuring a swift and accurate response. The mapping feature dynamically updates based on crime data, providing users with reliable safety information.

 Advantages:

1. Real-time crime alerts and notifications to users based on location.
2. Integration of citizen complaints with police verification for prompt action.
3. Dynamic mapping of crime-prone areas for user awareness.
4. Improved communication between the public and law enforcement authorities.
5. Enhanced public safety with accurate and timely updates.
