These inspections help ensure commercial vehicles operating on our roads meet required safety standards and help keep our community safe.

Operation Puppy Rescue!
While conducting speed enforcement on the RHVP, our officers discovered a frail looking puppy walking by itself in the heat. The officers were able to secure the puppy, however they soon discovered the puppy’s sister was also abandoned and too afraid to come close. The officers lured her in with pepperoni and they were both taken to safety!
Another unpredictable moment that these officers won’t forget!
Last Thursday, Bayfront Park was buzzing with energy as the Hamilton Police Service proudly hosted Police In The Park during this year’s Police Week celebrations!

Students had the chance to explore, learn something new, and build positive connections with community partners — all in a fun, welcoming, and action-packed environment!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Griffin, a beloved retired member of our Mounted Patrol Unit.
Griffin, a 20-year-old Percheron cross gelding, was purchased in 2010 and proudly served with the unit from its inception. Over the course of 15 years, he played a steady and reliable role in our operations before retiring in 2025.
He will be deeply missed by all who worked alongside and cared for him. Rest in peace, Griffin.
A full-circle moment.
On his final shift, Deputy Hamilton hit the road one last time—this time alongside his son. A career built on service, commitment, and community comes to a close, while the legacy continues in the next generation.
Thank you for your years of dedication. Enjoy the next chapter.

Today we recognize First Responders Day and stand proudly alongside our partners at the Hamilton Fire Department, Hamilton Paramedic Service, St. Joseph’s Healthcare, and Hamilton Health Sciences.
To all those serving on the front lines and behind the scenes—thank you for everything you do for our community.
Earlier this week, Constable Sorbara stopped a driver on Centennial Parkway who was travelling 147km/hour instead of the posted 70km/hour speed limit. The 17-year-old driver has now had their driver's licence suspended, their vehicle impounded, and some hefty fines to deal with.
Slow down, save lives!
