“This here is called ecstasy. Pay close attention to this, especially the ladies,” Customs Officer Frenchie Gumbs told students at the Seventh-day Adventist School on Tuesday.

Events kicked off on Sunday with a church service on Jost Van Dyke. Throughout the week, several other school visits and community activities are also scheduled.

During the Tuesday demonstration, officers fielded questions from students, many of whom were particularly interested in the K-9 Unit.
