Abstract: India is a developing country, and technology has played a major role in its development. We can see technological advancements in many areas, such as education, business, medical, banking, and agriculture. Unfortunately, the Indian Police Department remains devoid of technology in their systems up to certain extents. Also, with the rapid increase in population, the crime rates have increased. Therefore, it has become a gruelling task to manage these documents manually. The conventional system of visiting a police station for registering a first information report (FIR) or police complaint and getting updates needs to be replaced with a more convenient and transparent system. Hence, we propose a consortium blockchain architecture for the Indian Police Department, where all the police stations will be a part of this network. Consortium blockchain benefits from the privacy of private blockchain while leveraging the decentralized governance of public blockchain. In our proposed system, the client can register their FIR using a decentralized application. Our system ensures its acceptance and timely updates to be delivered to the victims. The scenario of FIR requires a highly secure and trustworthy workflow that has to be fast enough simultaneously.
