Summary of the police's work during the Splash music festival:

**Friday
**According to the police's operations chief, the workload for the police patrols on duty was relatively low on Friday and the resource situation was good. Most of those taken into custody for intoxication were under 18 years old and were driven home to their guardians or handed over to social services.

A minor fight resulted in a report of assault. A report of attempted fraud was filed where three individuals were reported for "panhandling".

From the police's side, the experience is that cooperation with the organizer, security guards and social services has worked well and been a success factor.

Security guards have successfully worked to keep the intoxication level down in the area.

Taken into custody according to LOB: 6

Refused: 1

Removed: 2

**Saturday
**Saturday meant higher workload for the police patrols, but the resource situation has been sufficient. Many young people were still taken into custody for intoxication and handed over to their guardians or social services.

No fights occurred on the festival site, and there are currently no reports of crimes. Unfortunately, there were fights in Luleå city center after the festival.

There were some disruptions to traffic in connection with the area's closure, and a decision was made to divert traffic from Södra Hamnleden. This was closed to car traffic for about 20 minutes.

Taken into custody according to LOB: 10

Refused: 4

Removed: 3

The police's goal for the festival has been met, and the good cooperation we have had with security guards, social services and the organizer has contributed to this.
