The project Criminal Record Management System in the perspective of Somalia is a criminal record management system that uses to record crime activities of criminals. It can be used to report crime activities. This project is mainly useful for law and enforcement agencies in Somalia.
The law and enforcement authority can preserve records of the criminals and search any criminal using the system. This is an online web application with database system in which police will keep the record of criminals who have been arrested.
We have used HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, MySql and Bootstrap to develop this project. We also used binary search algorithm to find a criminal from database. The project’s interface is very user friendly and helpful for authority.

Project Goals and Scope
The primary goal of this project is to develop an efficient, online web-based Criminal Record Management System (CRMS) tailored for the Somalia law enforcement context. This system aims to digitize manual, redundant record-keeping processes by enabling police departments to securely register, manage, store, and search criminal activities and associated data, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and data accuracy in criminal investigations.
- Automation of criminal data registration and storage.
- Improvement of investigative capabilities through digitized criminal profiles and histories.
- Enhanced security protocols for authorized personnel access.
- Facilitation of seamless information sharing across police departments and law enforcement agencies.
Excerpt from the Book
1.2 Motivation
In modern days crime is increasing day by day. To combat such crimes and to provide safety to citizens, police department plays a vital role. It always is a vital responsibility arresting criminal who is threat for the safety of society. After registering the FIR from any citizen, police starts investigation from them, after getting all the proofs against the criminal, It is the duty of the police to present all the proofs honestly to the court so that the right man can get right punishment. The true and right information provided by the people to police helps a lot in arresting the criminals who try to spoil the peaceful environment of society. Along with low salary scale, facilities of modern technology such as computerized system of keeping records are not provided to police department which cause low efficiency. As it is the age of computers, all the organization today use computers to maintain their records, so this facility should be given to police department. In order to increase their efficiency and to save their time, in our project we are going to implement a CRMS (criminal record management system). This is an online web application with database system in which police will keep the record of criminals who have been arrested. This will help the police department to manage their records easily.
