To enhance safety and convenience in Urbana-Champaign, there is a need for an improved way to share information about security incidents around the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). The current Daily Crime Log and Daily Crime Log Map provide valuable data but lack user-friendly features. Our proposed solution is a comprehensive crime reporting web application designed to transform the accessibility and presentation of critical information, empowering the community to make informed decisions for personal safety.

-
Improve data accessibility: The current tabular format of the Daily Crime Log is ineffective. Our application provides a more user-responsive framework for better data accessibility, ensuring informed decision-making for personal safety.
-
Community Safety: By enhancing access to and understanding of campus crime data, the application contributes to the safety and security of the entire Urbana-Champaign community.
-
Data Retrieval: Users can access crime data, including incident reports, locations, and relevant details through the application.
-
Reporting Tips: A distinctive feature involves enabling users to report crime tips directly to the police through a submission form, providing an easy and efficient online platform for reporting tips that can be investigated further.
-
Historical Data Visualization: The app displays historical crime data through charts and visualizations, empowering users with insights into trends and patterns over time.
-
Interactive Mapping: An interactive map interface allows users to visualize crime incidents for location-based decision-making.

User Authentication: Users and Admins can signup and login to make the most of all our functionalities.
- Unique Focus: Our app distinguishes itself by specifically catering to the Urbana-Champaign community, offering more relevant and targeted information compared to general platforms like Crimemapping.com or Citizens.
- Data Accuracy and Reliability: Unlike apps allowing user-generated content, such as Citizens, we exclusively rely on official sources for data, enhancing the app's overall reliability.
- Holistic Information Delivery: In contrast to UIUC-specific websites like the Daily Crime Log or Police Blotter, our app provides more comprehensive insights through data visualization rather than presenting raw data alone.
- Reporting Tips: A distinctive feature involves enabling users to report crime tips directly to the police through a submission form, providing an easy and efficient online platform for reporting tips that can be investigated further.
