This research paper highlights the importance of location aware application to keep a watch on criminals so as to reduce crime incidences under the Satara District Police Station Jurisdiction [SDPSJ]. The police system in any country has to play a very significant role in crime investigation and prevention. Crime and criminal record is stored and retrieved using CIPA and CCIS at the Police Station (PS) and the District Police Office (DPO) levels respectively. This initiative by the Police is useful for getting the criminal data & information but it does not serve the purpose of designing an action to prevent the crime. It has become a major challenge for the police system to detect and prevent crimes and movements of criminals. There is no information of any kind that is available before the occurrence of criminal acts. This results in the increase of crime rate. This paper highlights the use of location aware application technology to keep watch on the movements of criminals, which can be useful in prevention of crimes and thereby bring down the crime rate.
