DCP Suzette Martin reckoned the police had performed quite successfully on Old Year's night, she told Newsday in an interview on January 2.

She said the police had detected no serious physical injury to any person, nor any fire hazard being posed.

On that night a new law to restrict fireworks usage to just one hour around midnight had taken effect, but with many voices saying the law was not strongly enforced but rather noise-makers were discharging fireworks outside of that period.
