Status Version License Python


Table of Contents


Overview

Crime Detector System is an enterprise-grade AI platform designed to accelerate criminal investigations by:

  1. Matching Suspects - Identify suspects from crime scene photos using facial recognition (97.2% accuracy)
  2. Detecting Patterns - Link related crimes and identify crime series automatically (94.8% accuracy)
  3. Assessing Risk - Evaluate criminal risk and danger levels (AUC-ROC 0.92)

All analysis is explainable, auditable, and human-reviewed — no automated arrests or surveillance without warrants.
