Hamilton Police Service uses Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras to automatically scan and detect license plates in the surrounding area of a police cruiser. This makes it more difficult for suspended drivers, drivers of stolen cars, and other vehicles with plates in poor standing to drive undetected. Under optimal conditions, the ALPR system is capable of scanning thousands of license plates per hour.
Hamilton Police Service (HPS) primarily uses the DJI Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS), to assist with a variety of public safety functions.
The primary uses of the RPAS are:
Vision
To be a trusted partner in delivering public safety.
Mission
To serve and protect in partnership with our communities.
Values
The Hamilton Police Service Annual Report highlights initiatives that protect and safeguard our communities. These accomplishments demonstrate the importance of partnerships to ensure Hamilton is a strong and safe place to live and work. The report details the costs of policing services, crime statistics and includes business plan indicators.
