Detection
It is our duty as police to detect and tackle the illegal trade in professional fireworks. Buyers, traders, transporters, owners, and igniters of these fireworks risk imprisonment and a hefty fine.
Danger
Over the past decades, fireworks have increasingly resembled heavy explosives and have thus become much more dangerous, causing injuries and even fatalities.
