Overview
The Hamilton Police Historical Society and Museum Inc. is a not-for-profit organization managed by a volunteer Board of Directors along with the Hamilton Police Historian, Constable David Kerkhof. We rely on memberships and donations to operate the museum, manage and restore police artifacts and participate in community events.
We are supported by a group of volunteers, most of whom are retired police members of the Hamilton Police Retirees Association, as well as others who share their time and expertise. We also operate the Tuck Shop “Call Box”, which is located at the Hamilton Police Service, Central Station at 155 King William Street, Hamilton and sells various clothing, souvenirs and memorabilia with the logo and name of the Hamilton Police Service and the Society to support museum operations.
