Development and Implementation of an Online Crime Reporting System: A Web-Based Platform for Efficient Crime Management and Public Safety

The Online Crime Reporting System is a web application that enables individuals to file and manage crime reports digitally. Instead of visiting a police station, users can register complaints, monitor their progress, and interact with law enforcement officers through the platform. Its purpose is to increase transparency, improve efficiency, and make communication with authorities more convenient. The system is developed using Java (Spring Boot) on the backend, MySQL as the database, and a web-based interface for users, administrators, and police officers. Citizens can submit incident details, upload supporting documents or evidence, and receive updates on their reports. Administrators and police staff can authenticate complaints, assign cases for investigation, and update the status of ongoing reports. By reducing manual paperwork and minimizing delays, the system improves collaboration between the public and law enforcement. Overall, the Online Crime Reporting System promotes a modern, digital, and user-friendly method for handling public safety and complaint management.
