Perancangan E-Monitoring Laporan Polisi Menggunakan Metode Prototype pada Polsek Semendawai Suku III

The system for receiving police reports at the Semendawai Tribe III Police is currently still done manually by typing them in Microsoft Word which are then printed and stored in hard copy in the criminal investigation room. Storing files in hard copy form results in files piling up, being scattered, being tucked away, as well as the potential for losing files or having difficulty finding files when they are needed again. Apart from that, police report files in softcopy form are sometimes accidentally deleted, not copied, and immediately overwritten with a new police report, resulting in data loss that cannot be recovered. Therefore, this research aims to design electronic monitoring of police reports using a prototype method that allows gradual development of the system based on input from users. The electronic monitoring design was carried out in several stages, starting with the creation of a report recording module, followed by a combination of report status monitoring features, and ending with the implementation of automatic backup. Each stage is tested and evaluated separately to ensure optimal quality and usability. The research results show that this system is able to increase the efficiency of report management, can minimize the risk of data loss, and makes it easier for Sector Police personnel to monitor the progress of reports. With automatic backup, report data is stored safely and can be accessed at any time. It is hoped that this research can be an innovative solution for Sector Police in digitalizing administrative processes, as well as providing a basis for further development in the future.
