In a Tweet one control room supervisor said: "Arrived for work at 06:15 with 317 incidents reported.

"By comparison, that number was reached at 03:12 in 2020, 02:44 in 2019 and 03:07 in 2018.

"Handover reported that people were, in general, very well behaved overnight in @DC_Police, well done folks. Here's to 2021."

Today people are being urged to watch out for ice, after an overnight yellow met office warning.
