DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERISED CRIME RECORD SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF STATE C.I.D. HEADQUARTERS ENUGU)

INTRODUCTION: It should come as no surprise, then, that technology continue our limited, though uniquely human capabilities.  Until recently, most of these productivity tools were developed as aids to perform brute labour or clerical tasks infact, the computer has become widely accepted as an assistant that is exceptionally competence at well defined, repetitive tasks.  Now researchers have developed and entirely new kinds of tool of computer that serves as an assistant whose skills include finding reasonable solution to problem for which there may be no hard and fast “right” answers.  At this point one can say that a crime records are  computer system that uses extensive experience-base knowledge of a subject  to give intelligently in the same way s a human expert for instance imagine a machine that can listen to your medical problems with an expert diagnostician and even prescribe therapies to alleviate your disease.

A computerized crime record system can generally decide on the next step to be taken in a problem solving issue.  traditionally, computer software has used an algorithmic or procedural approach to problem solving in other words it sued a rigid step-by-step approach.  But to be able to function correctly, of all the possible combinations of input and data values have to be including in the program.  This manually manipulation of case in state CID (i.e. Enugu state CID headquarters) involve two levels, the data and the code or control.  But this approach is that complex task require complex codes, and to aid new information.
