ABBOTSFORD — As Fraser Valley residents prepare to usher in the new year tonight, the Abbotsford Police Department says it will step up with a more visible presence to ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration for everyone in the community.

The Abbotsford PD says additional officers will be on duty across the city tonight with an emphasis on high-traffic areas, community events, and impaired driving enforcement.

“Our priority is your safety—whether you’re celebrating at home, attending local festivities, or traveling on our roads,” AbbyPD wrote online. “Please plan ahead, use safe transportation options, and look out for one another. Together, we can make this New Year’s Eve a night to remember for all the right reasons.”

Residents are asked to phone the department at 604-859-5225 if they see something, or dial 9-1-1 in an emergency.
