Utilization of cloud database on criminal background check

Abstract

The rate of Criminal background check has recently gone high in Kenya. Career candidates have been subjected to pre-screening they are engaged by employers. Employers have been slack in hiring or retaining employees who have been having defective history and who subsequently engage in violence. Pre-screening has also been conducted whenever a person has committed a crime. This gives the CID detectives a substantial criminal history of the person who has been implicated in a crime. Criminal history records consist of identifiable descriptions and notations, detention and indictments or other formal criminal charges and any disposition arising there from, including acquittal, sentencing, correctional supervision or release In Kenya, the responsibility of issuance of police clearance certificate and investigation of complex charges is bestowed on the Criminal Investigation Department of the Kenya Police. Emergence cloud computing service models has made computing resources available to the consumers the internet connections. This study focuses mainly on application of Cloud Database model in enhancing progression in screening industry. This model provides for access of computing resources when needed and allows network entrance to a common pool of networks, servers, storage space, applications, and services, that can be swiftly offered and unrestricted, with little clients endeavor or interaction by provider of the service. Utilization of cloud database will trigger for migration of application by the CID hence minimizing the cost of infrastructure and technical expertise. These applications will be accessed from every CID office countrywide on demand
