Abstract
Policing system in Nigeria, a country of about 160 million people is in a state of degradation, criminal offences such as theft, bribery, armed robbery, assassinations and corruption are highly enormous. At the centre of this transformation is the electronic policing (E-policing) system, which is an emerging Internet technology. E-policing practiced by many law enforcement organizations around the globe to improve law enforcement services provided to the community. The use of Internet technology and electronic-based systems seeks an infrastructure with initial costs that are high and fast application development. This paper is focused on designing and developing an E-policing system to track and control crime rate in Nigeria, and also presents a framework based on technology towards alleviating barriers of manual policing and provisions of how cloud computing principles and Internet technology could be adapted to Nigeria Police Force (NPF) present and future expectations.
