The annual mobile booze-fest known as SantaCon descended on Hoboken Saturday and the results  saw an improvement from the prior year based on initial police reports.

Hoboken Police Chief Ken Ferrante kept a straight face while sharing timely updates via his twitter.

The overall impact was more positive, weather being some aid.

Numbers of incidents in all categories appear to be half of what they were last year while we still had crowds and the same # of officers on

The resulting lower numbers translated into a reduction in arrests:

At the 2015 SantaCon event in Hoboken, there were 9 arrests compared to this year’s 5. Yesterday @HobokenPD issued 30 City Ord summonses.
