The Hamilton Police Budget as a whole is still secret, but their procurement reports are public.
Those reports give a sense of the technology HPS is investing in, and services they rely on – and is a large part of how we were able to provide information on the surveillance technology they can utilize against organizers.
Following is a collection of the last couple years of Hamilton Police procurement reports – just the boring but complete captured budget pages. If you’d like to read the highlights around what surveillance technology HPS has been investing in over the last years, see the procurement highlights – and don’t forget to check out surveillance technology information from other sources or our surveillance section.
