About This Program

The broadcast is a single episode of a programme that follows the work of customs officials. It falls within the documentary‑style genre, presenting real‑world scenarios that customs officers encounter while protecting the nation’s borders. In this instalment, customs officer Bruce Heller intercepts a suspect who is attempting to bring a massive consignment of prohibited beauty products into the country. The man is caught with hundreds of items that are banned, and Heller’s swift action stops the illegal shipment before it can enter the market. At the same time, the episode shifts focus to Ken White, who puts two sniffer dogs through a series of exercises designed to test and sharpen their detection abilities. The training routine showcases how the dogs are prepared to sniff out contraband, reinforcing the crucial role that canine units play in customs operations. Together, the two segments illustrate the varied tactics used by customs teams – from on‑the‑spot interceptions by officers like Heller to the specialised work of handlers such as White and their trained dogs. The episode provides a concise look at how both human vigilance and animal assistance combine to keep prohibited goods out of the country.
