Chair: Vasan Seshadri, Asian Secretariat, BORDERPOL, India
Cross border criminal activities remains the mainstay of activities for border agencies,
whether it is from human trafficking or illegal trade in narcotics, dangerous substances
(CBRNe) animals etc. Criminal gangs move to increasingly brash and innovative
techniques to establish new systems/channels to facilitate their cross border criminal
activities. What are the latest challenges facing border agencies, from the front line
and beyond to the unexpected internal facilitators and what tools are at their disposal?

mainstay of activities for border agencies,
whether it is from human trafficking or illegal
trade/narcotics. Criminal gangs move to
increasingly brash and innovative techniques
to establish new systems/channels to
facilitate their cross border criminal activities,

Breakout Session - Border
Surveillance Techniques and Systems
Chair: Tom Tass, Executive Director,
BORDERPOL
Border surveillance is one of the biggest challenges
facing our border security agencies. Many land
borders, with no physical barriers, provide easy
access routes for criminal activities and illegal border
crossings, whilst many coastlines are relatively
unprotected outside major ports. What are the latest
border surveillance techniques and systems available
from UAVs to ground based systems? What are
the legalities behind the use and collection/sharing
of information and how can systems be integrated
into existing operations to ensure interoperability
and enhanced border protection? How can open
architecture systems be successfully integrated with
legacy systems?
