Living in border cities, due to its strategic location, is very different from other cities and requires more attention than other places. Due to their proximity to neighboring countries, these areas have a very close culture with their neighboring countries, because there are exchanges between them. The border areas of our country are one of the most deprived parts of the country due to the lack of facilities, and studies have shown that illegal activities such as smuggling of goods are taken from the facilities. Border security means preventing any illegal acts that take place along the borders of a country and legalizing the movement of people and the movement of goods and domestic animals in accordance with legal regulations, through authorized border gates. Border security is a strong support for security with its various dimensions inside the country, and any border insecurity can disrupt the economic, cultural, political, social and military systems inside the country.
