Abstract

Before the Law Enforcement system was adopted, the conventional manual sign-in system had been used for patrolling. In 2012, the Taipei City Police Department tried to set up an electronic sign-in system by launching a new infrared ray scanning system. But the device was based on heavy equipment and thus cast doubt on the practicability for police officers conducting routine operations. This study aims to assess the possibility of integrating smartphones with digital cameras, the Global Positioning System and maps into the electronic sign-in system. The electronic sign-in system was designed to save time by expediting the time-consuming process. And the system is characterized with (1) tight encryption and decryption during the process, (2) dual communication networks, and (3) convenient and portable solutions for remote or indoor area with poor Global Positioning System signals. Finally, in this research we compare the three different methods and find that the electronic sign-in system is better than all the others. Quick Response Codes, the Global Positioning System and the Electronic Map turn out to be the best combination, regarding the costs, the weight of products, the design and the manufacture.
