Design and Implementation of Crime Alert Application for Web and Mobile Platforms.

Abstract

The rapid growth of technology has transformed how societies communicate, access information, and ensure public safety. Yet, crime remains one of the biggest threats to individual security and community well-being. In many cases, victims or witnesses are unable to report incidents quickly due to a lack of accessible, reliable, and secure platforms. To address this challenge, we propose the development of a secure and scalable Crime Alert Application that works seamlessly across both web and mobile platforms. The application enables real-time reporting of crimes, sharing of location-based alerts, and quick communication between citizens, law enforcement agencies, and emergency responders. With features like user authentication, data encryption, and cloud scalability, the system ensures confidentiality, reliability, and uninterrupted service even during high traffic situations. Moreover, the platform integrates modern technologies such as push notifications, geolocation services, and role-based access control to create an effective crime management ecosystem. Beyond enabling instant reporting, the system empowers communities to stay informed, increases transparency in law enforcement, and contributes to building safer societies. This paper highlights the design, implementation, and evaluation of the application, along with its potential to reshape modern approaches to crime prevention and response.
