The problem CrimeGlance solves

The dashboard provides a comprehensive view of crime trends in your community, including information on the types of crimes that are most prevalent, the areas where crime is most likely to occur, and the times of day when crimes are most likely to take place.

You can use the dashboard to stay informed about crime trends in your area, and to take steps to protect yourself and your property. For example, if you notice that there has been an increase in burglaries in your neighborhood, you might want to consider installing a security system or taking other steps to secure your home.

In addition to providing information on crime trends, the dashboard also offers tips and resources for staying safe. You can access information on how to report a crime, how to protect yourself from identity theft and other forms of fraud, and how to stay safe when walking or driving in your neighborhood.

Overall, the Crime Awareness Dashboard is a powerful tool for staying informed and staying safe. By using the information and resources available through the dashboard, you can take steps to protect yourself, your family, and your community from crime.

In addition to that, it also has an interface for the admin users wherein the admins can login via authentication (which is linked to a database using MongoDB) and add the new locations where new incidents have taken place.

We have also made visual depiction easily available by including charts of statistics using Charts.JS, to help users make an informed decision.

Challenges we ran into

There were clashes of technologies we were using, because we were learning whilst building. In addition to that, we faced a few clashes of opinions as each of us had great ideas on how we could implement our solution for the problem statement. Th e time constraint led to some fatigue and burnout since such hackathons can be mentally and physically exhausting. One of the main technical difficulties we faced was connecting MongoDB to our front-end.
