Cpl. Jennifer Cooper says the Prince George RCMP responded to 129 calls for service throughout New Year’s Eve, which is on par with the average of 127 calls for the day since 2018.
“The icy road conditions resulted in nearly double the amount of traffic incidents we attended on New Year’s Eve in 2020,” Cooper said.
“Overall, however, the calls to police for that night were in line with our regular service calls.”
Calls to police were highest in the late afternoon and early evening.
According to Cooper, the PG RCMP finished the year with over 51,000 calls for service, a 7% increase from 2020.
