The Commissioner announced that there have been no serious incidents so far, as they have made tours during the day and night, and the influx of visitors has been low. He expects the greatest influx of visitors between Thursday and Friday. He recommended that local citizens continue to be vigilant in their neighborhoods, ensuring that their houses are well closed if they are leaving the city for the holidays, and informing a neighbor or family member who can keep an eye out on their property.
To visitors, the Commissioner advised them to support the peaceful campaign by behaving responsibly and not excessively drinking alcohol. The areas of influx will be monitored to ensure compliance. The Commissioner emphasized that there will be no breathalyzers operating in the city, but there will be sufficient surveillance from both the police and municipal transit to ensure the safety and security of everyone during the holiday season.
