The development of technological innovation has made a substantial contribution to crime prevention and policing. The study draws the connection between challenges in crime prevention and technology deployment in Aflao border Township. Methodologically, the data from the study was drawn primarily from interviews with police officers. The study revealed that understaffing, cross-border crime, the proliferation of unapproved routes, lack of a crime scene team, logistics, and lack of cooperation from border residents were core challenges confronting officers. The study concludes that technology deployment in Aflao, although rudimentary, helps mitigate the hard means of dealing with crime.
