Register your bike with Hamilton Police Service

Hamilton Police want to change that statistic through their online bike registry. It’s simple. Register your bike with the serial number, make and model. Then, if your bike is stolen and they find it, they can easily return it to you.

With summer just around the corner, this is a good time to register your bike with the police.  To find out more.
