Extra officers will be out in North Yorkshire on one of the busiest nights of the year, police say.
York Street Angels is one of the organisations which will work alongside police.
A church-led initiative, it sees volunteers walking around the city's streets into the early hours offering help to people in vulnerable situations."We can be dealing with anything from people who are lost to someone who had just that little bit too much to drink and they need someone with them. It's all sorts of things."Meanwhile, Supt Willey said the North Yorkshire force was "well-rehearsed" at dealing with "Mad Friday".
"My plea to people who are heading out is to plan your night, think about your own safety and know your limits." Supt Willey also urged people to consider the cold weather and factor that into their plans for the evening. "Please try and remain in a group of people and don't leave friends vulnerable to find their own way home," she added.
