PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP say calls were up slightly on New Year’s Eve in the city.
Cpl. Jennifer Cooper says the types of calls themselves were very consistent with what police have experienced every year at this time, with multiple bylaws complaints, reports of impaired driving, and other non-criminal complaints making up the bulk of the investigations.
“We still have not reached the high file counts on New Year’s Eve that we did in the few years following Covid, this year coming in at 78 calls for service between 6:00 p.m. on December 31 and 4:00 a.m. on January 1,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP. “One factor that may be contributing to this is a mid-week celebration that may help to moderate the tone of the celebrations.”
This is in keeping with the 2024 and 2025 New Year’s Eve totals, which came in at 72 and 74 calls for service, respectively. The total calls to RCMP throughout 2025 came in at 42,531, roughly the same as the total calls for service in 2024.
