Threat Detection and Reporting System

We live in a world brimming with technology and crime. Even being in large numbers, law enforcers lack the required presence and resources. Although there are a lot of surveillance devices being installed in a general view of the public, most of them require an operator to monitor them. Even if they are smart devices, they lack the ability to cover all aspects of a situation. The proposed solution emphasizes computer vision to develop software that leverages the widely available network of surveilling cameras to detect criminal threats using object detection, violent activities such as CNN, detection of a person in need of medical aid, and sending the same to ground zero. Thus, effectively covering all 3 major aspects of a threat, namely, the crucial time before a crime is conducted, detecting an ongoing act of violence, and finally sending help as soon as possible to the victims in the aftermath. This would serve as an additional eye for law enforcement and will certainly aid in reducing the response time from authorities and mitigate most of the rising threats.
