Abstract: Technology plays a crucial role in the ongoing fight against insecurity such as terrorism, insurgency, abduction, robbery, and cyber security worldwide, particularly in Nigeria as such, the investigated the perception of telecommunication in the fight against security in the Defence and Security Department, NDA, Kaduna and to recommend other security measures that can be adopted to improve the security issues in the Defence and Security Department, NDA, Kaduna. Hybrid methodology was adopted in the research where questionnaires were used to gather information from participants and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse collected data. The findings of the research show that the use of telecommunication gadgets has no effect in improving security in NDA at an average cumulative mean value of 2.71 which is lower and below the acceptable mean value of 3.0. The research concludes that the expense of countering security is high, the stress on the operator is high, and the potential for loss of life is high as most anti-security tools of today are high-tech, pricey, and need a high level of technical expertise to use effectively as such, technology is the driving force behind the struggle against security. The study recommends that legislation mandating the long-term, cost-effective acquisition of crime-fighting equipment has to be officially promulgated by the Federal Government of Nigeria. To that end, the Nigerian security force would be supplied with the latest technological advances regularly.
