India's shift towards digitalization has transformed traditional manual systems into a centralized online platform for registering complaints. However, the security of the First Information Report (FIR) process remains a significant concern. This paper proposes a solution that utilizes blockchain technology to strengthen the security, traceability, and chronological accuracy of FIR records. The study examines current police case management procedures, explores the potential of blockchain, and discusses an integrated police record management system that incorporates blockchain, Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). A key focus of the paper is to propose a mechanism to prevent tampering with e-FIR data, which is vulnerable due to local control. The primary challenges with traditional methods include the lack of trust in e-FIR data, counterfeit registrations, and the risk of non-registrations. These issues stem from corruption, inefficiency, and a lack of transparency. The paper emphasizes the need for a system free from corruption, leveraging blockchain to ensure the integrity of e-FIR data, eliminate fake registrations, and foster a more transparent and reliable reporting system.
