The PSNI in Derry City & Strabane have been working alongside the District Council in the run-up to St Patrick's Day to ensure everyone attending has a safe and enjoyable day.

"We saw thousands of people, enjoying events in the City and District last year and we're expecting as many people this year,” said Superintendent Calderwood.
"We want people to enjoy themselves in a safe and respectful manner. We ask that you follow the advice and direction of stewards, and our officers who are here to help. If you're staying on after the Council celebrations are over, please drink responsibly and make sure you get home safely using public transport, a taxi or a designated driver. Our officers will continue to be on duty, working to keep you safe."
