As the anniversary of October 7, 2023, approaches and tensions in the Middle East remain high, Hamilton Police Service remains committed to the safety and well-being of our community. We understand that global events can have a direct impact on local communities, and we are taking proactive measures to ensure everyone feels safe and protected.

Our officers will continue to conduct special attentions in areas surrounding places of worship, schools, and community centres to provide a visible presence and reassurance. We are actively monitoring intelligence and information to assess any potential risks and will deploy resources as necessary.

We want to make it clear: we will not tolerate any form of hate or discrimination in our community. Hamilton Police are dedicated to upholding the values of respect, inclusion, and safety for all residents, and we will take appropriate action against any acts of hate or violence. Hate has no place in our community. 

We encourage anyone who feels unsafe or witnesses suspicious activity to report it immediately. If it is an emergency, call 911. For non-emergencies, call 905-546-4925.
