Hong Kong Customs plays a significant role in safeguarding national security. To render full support to the National Security Education Day organised by the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Hong Kong Customs held the Hong Kong Customs College Open Day on 15 April 2023 to promote national security education.
The Open Day was divided into two sessions, each with a Chinese-style flag raising ceremony to commence the event. Other programmes included national security exhibitions, demonstrations by detector dogs, a virtual reality experience, game booths, a display firearms, weapons and X-ray screening system.
The Open Day, together with the Customs Gala Day, showcased the strong commitment of the Hong Kong Customs in preventing and fending off national security risks and educated the public about safeguarding national security.
