Immersive experience:

A visitor experiences contraband detection work through virtual reality during the Hong Kong Customs College Open Day.

Customs today fully supported National Security Education Day and held the Hong Kong Customs College Open Day to promote national security education.

 

The open day was divided into two sessions in the morning and the afternoon, with a Chinese-style flag raising ceremony and foot drill performance by Customs & Excise Department Guards of Honour members in each session to start the event.

 

Other programmes included national security exhibitions, demonstrations by customs detector dogs, and a virtual reality experience of contraband detection.

 

Visitors joined guided tours to the Professional Development Training Block and the outdoor firing range, and viewed a display of professional equipment including firearms and weapons to learn more about the college facilities and training content.

 

During the visits, the public also obtained information about the department's recruitment exercise and experienced the physical fitness test for recruitment.

 

Customs hoped the open day could let the public see the department's strong power in preventing and fending off national security risks and understand from various perspectives its work in safeguarding national security.
