Sergey Morozov, a student in the Information Security of Automated Systems Program, and Maxim Manannikov, a graduate of the Fundamental Informatics and Information Technologies Program from the Institute of Informatics and Cybernetics, have developed specialized software to optimize the work of law enforcement agencies. The program combines analytical tools and an intelligent prompt system. The application has successfully obtained a patent.
The new system addresses the issue of cumbersome paper-based document flow, characteristic of investigative work. It fully digitizes processes, allowing to:
· eliminate paper documentation
· expedite procedural decision-making
· reduce the risk of missed deadlines and human errors
· increase transparency and work efficiency
The development features comprehensive functionality tailored to the needs of investigators.
Among its key capabilities are:
· Digital Case Management: Tracking cases, materials, appeals, and assignments.
· Automatic Deadline Control: The system automatically notifies about cases with expiring procedural deadlines.
· Smart Reporting: Generating both standard and special reports on demand.
· Case Summary Generation: The program automatically creates a summary of the crime based on entered data and articles of the Russian Criminal Code.
· Integration: Convenient data handling tools, similar to familiar spreadsheet editors.
"We aimed to create not just a reference program, but a full-fledged platform that would become the foundation of digital investigative case management," notes one of the application's authors.
The program is written in Python, has successfully undergone testing in investigative authorities of the Samara region, and has received positive feedback from practitioners. The electronic assistant is actively used in work, and currently, there are a number of requests for implementing this program in law enforcement agencies. The developers see the system's future in creating a unified digital ecosystem for interaction between all departments. This project paves the way for digital transformation in the law enforcement sector and serves as an example of applied innovations created by the university's students and graduates.
