Abstract: The central prison in Beni usually gets attacked, and most of the prisoners take the opportunity to escape. This situation enhances the level of criminality in Beni. This research paper presents an intelligent criminal detection system. We use a face recognition mechanism to detect criminals who escape from the prisons and other wanted people. The objective of the following research paper is to reduce the crime rate in the town of Beni and its surrounding by combatting the flight of criminals or wanted people. We advocate so that the system may be installed in airports, entry points and some public places.
