Goodwill and teamwork are key to policing over the Christmas period
The frontline workers that form our emergency services are the unsung heroes that work to protect their communities throughout the year, but over Christmas, more stress is placed on these services than at other times of the year.
The festive period often sees an increase in domestic violence incidents, alcohol-fuelled fights involving those leaving pubs, clubs, and bars and increases in drink drive offences as a result of party season being in full swing.
