The Hamilton Police Retirees Association (HPRA) was founded in 1981 by a group of retirees that established their constitution and By-Laws in 1982. In 2016 the HPRA was registered as a Not-For-Profit Corporation in the Province of Ontario.

Over the years the association’s size and activities have fluctuated, but its goals and objectives have remained constant. We provide ongoing support for our members with pension benefits and offer information on legislative and benefit changes.

We foster a sense of friendship and mutual respect among Association members through social events and organize volunteer opportunities and community service events that allow our members to participate and give back to their communities.

We currently have approximately 737 active members which includes retirees of the Hamilton Police Service, Associate members and Surviving Spouses.
Membership is open to all retired members of the Hamilton Police Service and employees of the Hamilton Police Association.

A letter of invitation to join the HPRA is sent when our Membership Director is notified of a member’s retirement and to the surviving spouses of our retired and current serving members.

Members that have served a minimum of 10 years may apply for Associate membership.
