NSW: Police confident of New Year'seve crowd control resources

Despite bushfire demands police are confident they'll have the resources to control
more than one million people expected on Sydney's foreshore on New Year's Eve.

City East Region commander DICK ADAMS says all leave had been cancelled to ensure they
were sufficient police on the ground.

He says a lot of hard work has gone into planning for New Year's Eve and he's very
confident he has the resources to meet and deal with any problems that might arise.

He says they expect crowds to exceed one and a quarter million around the Sydney Harbour
foreshore.
