A Web Based Crime Case Management System that Supports Police Officers on line of duty to Manage Crime Cases data that involve Collection, Organizing, Processing, Storage, Retrieval, Cross referencing and Reporting Overview A s technology increases and investigative methods improve, policing has turned to a new era referred to as professional based policing. As the world clinches on the rapid increase in advancement and use of technology, Uganda Police Force still delays behind in implementing the new technologies in particular at the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Directorate- Kibuli. Several problems including; insufficient budget funding, long man hours to investigate crime cases, mistakes made in decisions and judgment, insufficient compiled data, manual filing system used to store, retrieve, update cases and failure to cross reference against similar cases, suspects identified in similar cases and collected evidence are faced with most police stations in Ugnada. Problem Statement C urrent operations and handling of crime cases at Uganda Police Force delay acquisition of timely incriminating evidence due to use of poor mechanisms in data collection, storage, retrieval and cross referencing.
