border policing

Border policing involves the enforcement of laws and regulations at a country's borders to control who and what enters or exits. Officers or agencies monitor crossings to prevent illegal activities such as unauthorized entry, smuggling, or trafficking. This process includes checking identification, inspecting cargo, and using technologies like surveillance systems. The goal is to ensure national security, support immigration policies, and facilitate legitimate trade and travel while preventing threats or illegal activities from crossing borders. Border policing must balance security needs with respecting individuals' rights and humanitarian considerations.
