Customs set up the first-ever detector dog team specializing in gun detection, which has been mobilized to cargo and mail stations since November. Two dogs demonstrated searching for firearms at the customs Detector Dog Unit Base at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. Therefore, their training was designed based on that of the drug detector dog team. Wong said the parts were primarily delivered to Hong Kong through airmail, and deploying the gun detector dogs can speed up the screening process of mass mail items. The new team will expand the dogs' abilities from Customs Canine Force to gun detection on top of searching for drugs, explosives, and cash.
