New Year's Eve celebrations in Nelson tonight will have a tinge of sadness, as the city marks one year since Police officer Lyn Fleming was killed on the job.

Police Commissioner Richard Chambers will be joining beat patrols in the city tonight.

Chambers says he wants to back up staff who were working alongside Fleming a year ago, and to remember her.

Nelson Mayor Nick Smith told Andrew Dickens that it was an incredibly tragic start to a difficult year, and people in Nelson are keen to move on.

He says they can't wait to put 2025 behind them and to get into 2026.
