TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION IN PUBLIC SECURITY IN BORDER AREAS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE STATE OF AMAZONAS

Abstract

The analysis of public security dynamics along the border regions of the State of Amazonas shows that technological innovation has become essential to confront the transnational threats operating in the area. The combination of vast territory, logistical limitations, and fragmented state presence enables criminal organizations to employ advanced technologies and exploit long-standing vulnerabilities. The study demonstrates that systems such as SISFRON, supported by artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, smart cameras, and unmanned aerial vehicles, enhance surveillance capacity and reinforce qualified repression. It also indicates that the effectiveness of these tools depends on institutional integration, specialized training, and stable funding. The article concludes that technology, when aligned with strategic planning, international cooperation, and regional development policies, provides concrete means to improve border control and strengthen Brazilian sovereignty in the Amazon region.
