A summary of the police's work in connection with Splash in Luleå
The event on Friday has gone well, the festival has been very orderly from an order perspective. High presence of police and order guards, as well as other preventive forces such as social services, field workers, etc. have contributed to this. Few crimes have been reported.
The police have also collaborated with the coast guard, which was good since there was some sea traffic near the southern harbor in the evening.
In addition, the police had drone pilots on duty during the evening, which made it possible to have a good overview of and around the area. The police were able to work proactively and quickly move to places where they were needed.
There were many young people on site, where some young people were over-intoxicated and needed to be taken care of.
At the closing of the area, the Södra hamnleden was temporarily closed (between 1:00-1:20 AM) and traffic was diverted. This was because the entrance is out onto Södra hamnleden and many of the visitors walked straight across the road. The risk of traffic accidents between vehicles and pedestrians was overwhelming.
