Traffic & Travel Advice for St. Patrick’s Day

Stay Safe While Celebrating
Superintendent Brannigan reminded revelers to be aware of their surroundings, especially at night:
- Visible Police Presence: Officers will be on patrol across the district.
- ‘Ask for Angela’ Scheme: If you feel unsafe in a licensed venue, asking for ‘Angela’ will discreetly alert staff, who can assist.
