Increase in sworn police officers
Given that Ward 9 is one of the fastest growing wards in Hamilton, I have supported all the police budget increases which saw over 60 new hires in the last four years along with replacement hires for retirements etc. These new hires meant more officers for Upper Stoney Creek and Hamilton Mountain.
Moreover, the Police Chief created a permanent, specialized Shooting Response Team (SRT), focusing on investigating non‑fatal shootings and reckless gunfire, linking cases across other incidents, and targeting repeat offenders and gangs.
As of 2024 records, the SRT has the team has carried out 21 investigations, leading to the arrest of 10 individuals for a total of 98 charges.
Let me be clear, Councillors and even the Mayor have no direct power or legal authority over the Police. The Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, much like the preceding Police Services Act is written is such a manner as to limit political intervention in policing ostensibly to prevent politicians from using the police for political purposes.
A contractor is installing a new Multi-use court across from the play equipment within the park. They will be using the Second Rd. parking lot as a staging area and have their construction access along the North pathway of the park. This will impact the pedestrian access to the park from Parkvista Place.
All amenities in the park remain open with the exception of a portion of the parking lot off of Second Road and the pathway along the northern edge of the park. During this work there will be limited access to the north pathway of the park from 7:00am through 5:00pm.
Work is expected to be completed by July 15, 2026 (weather pending). We appreciate residents’ patience during this upgrade to the park. The drawing for the upgrade is attached below.
