These days, the traditional means of securing borders have become ineffective.
Comprehensive approaches towards border security should definitely cut down on security threats entering a country as well as reducing the trade of any illegal substances or weapons. While many might agree that certain types of borders need improved security protocols, there is a bit of a debate among them about how they should be implemented. These days, the traditional means of securing borders have become ineffective. Finding and training the right personnel has become hard, and creating extensive physical barriers is cost-dependent and can even have harmful and bad impacts on the environment. It has become a real challenge for many countries over the years. Instead, the best approach might involve directing traffic towards checkpoints with a firm reliance on state-of-the-art, robust technology to mitigate any border-related security issues.

Lowering Any Personnel Needs
Staffing shortages are plaguing the world right now, but especially in the border protection industry. For a position that requires a lot of training, a high turnaround is very undesirable. With the recent pandemic and other issues occurring in the United States alone, the number of border patrol agents has declined within the last two years. This is why the focus must be turned to technology, where sensors can scan the underside of vehicles now and instantly check license plates, which allow borders to lessen the need for trained personnel and help relieve some strain on hiring. These technologies from Gatekeeper are excellent solutions for long-term border security as well, so give us a call if you are interested!
Adaptable Security Systems
Quality border security systems are more than capable of being adapted to meet specific needs. If a terrorist is out at large, for example, borders equipped with optical vehicle occupant detectors might be set to alert personnel if the wanted terrorist were to somehow pass through the checkpoint. Being able to calibrate your security systems easily on the fly to help address specific concerns makes for a more comprehensive system. Modern and intelligent systems are the only way to correctly address security needs around border checkpoints, as they help provide an opportunity to cover more space and prevent threats from getting through. As the years pass, it is a good idea to eliminate the possibility of human error from security inspections at our borders, which is why it is wise to invest in security technology from Gatekeeper!
