Inspiration
To help solve and prevent crime as well as protect the public from potential dangers.
What it does
Allows bystanders to upload information into a software where it notifies people nearby about what has occurred and what to look out for (shirt colour, car etc.)
How we built it
We used html and CSS for front end and Python Flask for back end. We web scrape for data from the Waterloo Regional Police website and display it as a table alongside community reports.
Challenges we ran into
A lot of trouble with utilizing CSS in unison with Flask.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to submit a project in the end with a nice looking front end. We were also able to make a functioning web scraper.
What we learned
We learned that Flask is a very tedious tool to use and to avoid it. We also learned a lot of skills about both front and back end development.
What's next for DeCrm
We want to expand it internationally and have it become a project that not only helps solve crime, but also help prevent it. We want to keep everyone safe and increase the effectiveness of law enforcement officers. As well, we want to help communities regain trust of the Justice system.
