Abstract: A software application for automating the operations of the Investigation and Intelligence department of Nigeria Police Force was designed. The software application was developed using Microsoft visual studio 2008 Express Edition, incorporated with MYSQL relational database technology and biometrics capabilities. The software application design was made up of three parts; the first is the Vb. NET interface that gives the desired graphical input and output, Secondly, the database that stores and retrieves data and lastly the hardware device (Secugen finger print reader) which matches the criminal or suspect identity using fingerprint minutiae. Performance evaluation and testing of the designed software application was done and the result shows its suitability for the operations of the Investigation and Intelligence department of the Nigeria Police force and its adaptability for use by any National Police Force.
