Abstract

The contemporary world necessitates effective solutions for crime investigation and emergency response to ensure public safety. This research pioneers an innovative approach by creating a predictive model for an integrated Crime Investigation and Emergency Response. Utilizing data-driven analysis, advanced machine learning, and modern information technology, it aims to enhance the efficiency of law enforcement and emergency procedures. Recognizing the pivotal role of Information Systems/Information Technology (IS/IT) in disaster management and crime investigation, the study emphasizes the urgency for efficient IT solutions to manage critical incidents. This focus seeks to minimize their impact on human lives, societal norms, economic stability, and political arenas. Exploring the integration of data-centric tools and information systems highlights their potential for expediting coordinated responses across various organizational levels, from local to global scopes. Delving into the challenges facing law enforcement in analyzing crime patterns, especially in cases involving violent offenses with extensive statistical data, this research introduces a machine-learning strategy combining regression and classification techniques. The primary goal is to reveal crucial patterns, particularly in predicting perpetrator characteristics such as age, gender, and their relationship with the victim. The envisioned Crime Investigation System (CIS) aims to streamline investigative processes, championing data-centric approaches facilitated by data mining technologies. Moreover, the research underscores technology's transformative impact on reshaping emergency management and notification systems. It underscores the importance of reducing response times, involving the public more actively, and deriving practical insights from reported data. Through comprehensive data analysis spanning several years, the study sheds light on unsolved crimes, notably those involving handguns, showcasing the model's potential to enhance law enforcement capabilities. These findings highlight the significant promise of the developed predictive model in bolstering law enforcement and emergency response procedures, potentially revolutionizing public safety operations. Ultimately, this research aspires to contribute to a safer and more responsive society by leveraging predictive models and technology-driven systems within law enforcement and public safety domains.
