Increased Harrogate district police patrols to get people home safe
Police in the Harrogate district have increased patrols to help people get home safe over the festive period.
North Yorkshire Police has partnered with Harrogate Borough Council as part of an annual Get Home Safely from bars, nightclubs and restaurants campaign.
The key message of the campaign is for people to plan their journeys home in advance, look-out for one another, and look after their drinks and possessions.
Statistics show that domestic abuse incidents increase during bank holiday periods, and the campaign also aims to highlight emotional and practical support available through the charity IDAS.
Revellers will notice posters and digital boards with advice across the district. They will also notice more police on the streets.
