The Crimes Against Seniors Unit of the Hamilton Police Service is responsible for the investigations of crimes against persons that are 60 years of age and older or at risk adults, who are victimized primarily because of their age.
The Unit consists of two Detectives who, when appropriate, work closely with Community agencies and partners to insure that all reported cases of abuse, neglect, exploitation and financial theft against seniors are investigated in a timely, efficient manner.
While many matters are reported to the Hamilton Police Service, not all incidents are criminal in nature. While conducting investigations, the Crimes Against Seniors Unit follows the direction of the victimized older or vulnerable person to bring their concerns and the investigation to a satisfactory resolution.
