It's fair to say that police have had their work cut out this year.
From enforcing Covid regulations during lockdown to the usual day-to-day operations, 2020 has been a year that everyone will remember for some time to come.
And there has been plenty of police incidents that we at The Advertiser have reported on that people will remember in years to come.
Here, we look back at four of the biggest police incidents that Andover has faced this year - from car accidents to bomb hoaxes.
