Operation New Year's Eve 2020 was focused on ensuring the safety of revellers at events or gatherings across NSW.

A spokesperson for Dubbo Police said they had a quiet night with no major incidents to report, while Orange Police said while they had a number of incidents they responded to, overall they were pleased with the night.

Inspector Peter Atkins from the Central West Police District said that more police on the street helped make a difference.

"We had a good night and maintained a larger police presence with a high visibility, especially throughout the CBD," he said.

"We had a small number of incidents that we attended including a report of an assault at an Orange residence where a 17-year-old female was arrested and charged with common assault.

"She was refused bail and will appear in court on Monday, January 25.

"In a separate incident a male has been arrested and is assisting us with enquiries regarding a domestic violence matter.

"We also issued a number of move on orders for people from licensed premises, but everyone was generally well behaved."

Inspector Atkins said the good behaviour continued on the roads with only one major road incident to report.

"We stopped an unaccompanied learner driver on Byng St and he was issued with a ticket."

Across the state, the majority of people were well-behaved and celebrated safely with a few exceptions.

Over 1400 licensed premises were patrolled and a total of 219 arrests were made with 290 charges laid for various offences.

Police issued seven $1000 Penalty Infringement Notices to individual's and five $5000 Penalty Infringement Notices to businesses.

Operation New Year's Eve 2020 Commander, Assistant Commissioner Mick Willing, said most people were well-behaved and heeded advice to stay home.

"I would like to thank those members of the community who made their plans COVID-safe and celebrated the beginning of 2021 responsibly, in what we hope is a better year for everyone," he said.

"It was still disappointing to see some people being reckless and disregarding the rules, with police in the suburbs kept busy dispersing congregations, giving move-on directions and seizing illicit fireworks on multiple occasions."

Bathurst Police were contacted but unable to comment.
