The Ottawa Police Service says officer presence will be increased Sunday to ensure safe and law-abiding behaviours.

The city’s police service took to X to spread the word, saying the increased presence will be focusing on Liquor Licence Act offences and general conduct issues.

“There will be strict enforcement,” reads the post.

Police also ask people who are celebrating on Saint Patrick’s Day to keep gatherings under control, by not inviting people they don’t know.
