Cybersecurity Breach - Crimestoppers 🚨
Hamilton Police Pause Use of Crime Stoppers 👇👇👇👇👇
Hamilton Police Service has paused its use of the Crime Stoppers program while seeking further information about the security of its tip-management system and the measures taken following a reported cybersecurity breach.

Hamilton Police has a longstanding partnership with Hamilton Crime Stoppers and has been working closely with the organization to understand the incident and its response.

In June, Hamilton Police informed the public that Crime Stoppers had made the Service aware of a breach and provided assurances that steps had been taken to mitigate the risk. Hamilton Police are now seeking further information to assess whether appropriate safeguards are in place before resuming use of the program.

Protecting people who come forward with information is essential to public trust and community safety. The decision to pause reflects the importance of safeguarding confidential information and the anonymity of those who use Crime Stoppers.

Crime Stoppers operates independently from Hamilton Police Service. Questions about the breach, what information may have been affected and the measures taken in response should be directed to the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association.

Members of the public can continue to report crimes or provide information directly to Hamilton Police by calling 905-546-4925. Reporting directly to police does not offer the anonymity associated with Crime Stoppers. For emergencies or a crime in progress, call 9-1-1.

Hamilton Police will provide an update when further information is available.

It’s Mo-vember !!!

There is a ride in Ontario that inflation has never touched. At Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie, on the Lake Ontario shore of St. Catharines, a magnificent antique carousel still spins for five cents a ride — the same nickel it cost generations ago — and by the terms of a promise made in 1970, it can never cost a cent more.

The carousel itself is a work of art that happens to move. It was hand-carved between 1898 and 1905 in Brooklyn, New York, in the workshop of Charles I. D. Looff, the German-born master who built Coney Island's first carousel and the Santa Monica Pier. His carvers — including Marcus Illions, who became a legend of the craft himself — produced sixty-eight wooden animals: prancing horses that still wear real horsehair tails, lions, camels, goats and giraffes, plus four chariots, all turning to the music of an antique Frati band organ.

It came to Port Dalhousie in 1921 from an amusement park in Scarborough, joining a lakeside park with fifty-eight attractions that drew weekend crowds.

A promise is a promise. Today the Friends of the Carousel — volunteers who carve, paint and restore the animals in a city workshop — keep the old machine gleaming. It is one of only nine antique hand-carved carousels still operating in Canada, out of roughly three hundred and fifty left in all of North America.

Only in Canada would a city sign a contract to keep the price of joy at one nickel, forever. When did you last ride a carousel — and would you pick the horse, the lion, or the camel?
