Hamilton Police Under Investigation For Writing Fake Tickets | Canadian Awareness Network

November 29, 2014

Hamilton Police Under Investigation For Writing Fake Tickets | Canadian Awareness Network.

The Hamilton police ACTION (Addressing Crime Trends In Our Neighborhoods) team is described on the Hamilton police website as:

“The ACTION Team is made possible through funding obtained from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services under the Provincial Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy (PAVIS). PAVIS aims to reduce illegal gang, drug and weapons activities in communities by focusing on intervention, prevention, enforcement and community mobilization.”

Police cheif Glenn DeCaire has repeatedly applauded the team for “cleaning up” the downtown core. Even though not much has changed. You can take a walk down King St. and watch drug deals out in the open on a daily basis, and the alcohol problems are just as prevelent.

Anyone who has spent any amount of time in downtown Hamilton has at least seen the ACTION team. There are days where there is as many as 8 action team officers are patroling the intersection of King St. and James St. On several of those days I had been in the area filming, had them approach me asking what I was doing and even had one officer state “I smell weed smoke, do you smoke weed?”. This kind of behavior is not out of the ordinary, I have been told by countless people that Action team officers have unjustly harrassed them.

Now the ACTION team is under investigation for writing fake tickets, to improve their numbers.
