CYBER INCIDENT


On June 25, 2023, the Port Hope Police Service identified a network issue, which an investigation
has now revealed to be a cyber incident.


At no time has our ability to respond to calls been compromised. Our 9-1-1 system for emergency
calls has not been affected, and our telephone line for non-urgent concerns remains operational.
Our Information Technology team, the Ontario Provincial Police Cyber Crime Investigations team, as
well as third-party cyber experts, are working to regain access to our affected systems.


We understand this may cause concerns. This is an active ongoing investigation, and we are
committed to updating our community as necessary as we work to resolve the issue. The safety and
security of the citizens of Port Hope remain our number one priority.


Thank you for your understanding, patience, and support.
