Police in Edinburgh are preparing for one of the busiest nights in the capital’s calendar, Hogmanay.
City police are delighted to be supporting one of Edinburgh’s showcase events and are looking forward to a safe and fun night of spectacular entertainment and celebration on Wednesday night.
Police officers and stewards will be on duty at the ticketed street party and across the city to provide assistance and reassurance.
Chief Superintendent Mark Williams and Sam Bryce from G4S met the media at a briefing in the city centre yesterday and advised revellers:
- Get there early – there is plenty of entertainment on offer
- Wrap up warm – the weather is expected to be chilly, damp and breezy
- Don’t drink too much – anyone who drinks to excess makes themselves more vulnerable
- Don’t bring glass, you won’t get into the ticketed area
- The event is not suitable for children so leave them with a babysitter
- Look after yourself and friends, stick together
- Plan your journey home – public transport will be running and if you’ve booked a taxi, make sure you’re ready to be picked up
- Enjoy yourself safely – officers and stewards are here to help
