The number of 999 calls was the highest volume we have ever recorded, and it’s fair to say it was an incredibly busy day."
Assistant Chief Constable Jason Masters, Leicestershire Police
Despite the high volume of calls just five people were arrested in relation to the post-match celebrations. One was in Hinckley where a flare was set off. Two officers received minor injuries in connection with the arrests.
The force is now preparing for the semi-final match on Wednesday by cancelling all officers’ rest days and annual leave. Special Constables are also being asked to help take over neighbourhood and response policing roles.

East Midlands Today
Plans have been announced to try and increase the number of trains between Derby, Leicester and Nottingham to Birmingham.

But the plans have yet to be approved and it could take up to 20 years to come to fruition.
Leicester City mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said for a long time the Midlands has had different priorities.
He said: "For the very first time we have identified what will really make a difference for the whole of the Midlands, and we'll be telling the Secretary of State that we need our share of the investment, that for too long has gone to other regions, and particularly to London."

It can be annoying when your takeaway is slow to arrive but one hungry person in Nottinghamshire recently took things too far after waiting for two hours and phoned 999.

The force said: "Calls of this nature take our dedicated team away from dealing with genuine emergencies."

Charity groups told of funding cut on NHS's birthdaypublished at 09:37 British Summer Time 9 July 2018
BBC Radio Derby
NHS bosses in Derbyshire chose the organisation's 70th birthday last week to announce cuts to about 40 local charities and voluntary groups.
One charity that was told its funding was being scrapped described it as "a very unwelcome birthday present" from the NHS.
It, and other voluntary sector groups, have been told they'll lose all of their funding from November under the plans.
The NHS's own analysis says some of the cuts could increase hunger and "general ill health", and increase the number of missed appointments.
But the NHS in Derbyshire needs to make savings of £80m pounds a year and says it can't keep funding things it doesn't have to.
A spokesman for NHS Southern Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group said: "The total value of these grants and contracts included in the current communication stands at £1.1m, which represents only a proportion of the CCGs’ spend to voluntary sector providers in Derbyshire."
Disorder could mean no big screen for semi-finalpublished at 09:31 British Summer Time 9 July 2018

Nottingham City Council says it will decide today whether Wednesday's World Cup semi-final between England and Croatia will be shown on a big screen at Nottingham Castle.
It follows disorder in the city centre after England beat Sweden in Saturday's quarter-final.
The authority said in a statement: "It was good that so many fans in Nottingham - young and old - came together at the castle to create such a positive atmosphere as England secured a semi-final place at the World Cup for the first time in nearly 30 years.
"It was disappointing that a very small minority spoiled the occasion afterwards when people were congregating in the city centre to celebrate the victory. We will be working with the police to help identify those responsible.
"As far as arrangements go for the semi-final against Croatia, we will take stock on Monday and review options before making any announcement."
