World Cup safety advice offered by police

Surrey Police have issued safety guidance for residents ahead of the World Cup, which is hosted across the United States, Mexico and Canada from June 11 to July 19. Because many matches begin late in the UK, officers remind revelers to arrange transport home in advance when watching in pubs or bars. They suggest booking a taxi, staying at a friend's house, or designating a driver to curb drink-driving. Licensing rules have been extended in some venues to accommodate late hours, underscoring the importance of sober decisions after the matches. England faces Croatia on June 17, Ghana on June 23 and Panama on June 27 in the group stage.
