(Hamilton, Canada) – The Hamilton Police Service Board has scheduled a special meeting for noon Friday, November 6, with a closed-session discussion of recommendations for its 2027–2030 strategic plan.

The published agenda identifies a report prepared by Consilium Public Sector Services. It lists a closed meeting followed by a report back before adjournment.

For the closed item, the agenda cites provisions of the Community Safety and Policing Act concerning information supplied in confidence that could prejudice competitive interests or interfere with negotiations if disclosed. That is the notice's stated basis for the closed discussion.

The document does not publish the recommendations themselves or announce a final decision on the plan. The scheduled discussion should therefore not be read as an adopted policy.

The board lists the meeting as virtual, with a stream through its YouTube channel. Its website also lists a budget committee meeting November 24 and a regular board meeting November 26.
