WILMINGTON ? About 200 Canadian troops will get a break from military training to spend New Year's Eve in Wilmington.

The troops are currently training at Camp Lejeune, but will take a bus on New Year's Eve to Wilmington for festivities there. The Wilmington Police Department and other city officials have held meetings with Canadian military officials ahead of the visit.

Wilmington police said they treat New Year's Eve just like other big holiday weekends such as Halloween or Independence Day.

Authorities map out a logistics plan and bring on additional staff.


"Numbers of officers, we re-do schedules. We have the downtown unit, half works one shift and the other half is opposite them normally during the week, they'll all be out there Saturday night. You will see double the amount of officers at a minimum," said Capt. Jeff Allsbrook of the Wilmington Police Dept.

The Wilmington Police Department plans to have 15 dedicated units downtown and another 30 throughout the city. Those will be on standby if more help is needed downtown.
