Kingston Police are making progress in restoring their IT systems after a cyber incident

Disruption was to non-emergency functions

The recovery process remains gradual and deliberate, with services being restored in order of priority as determined by police leadership.

A release from Kingston Police says any system goes live, full security measures are being implemented to ensure safety.

As part of required privacy protection efforts, Kingston Police have submitted a preliminary report to the Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC). 

This is the first in a series of reports detailing the steps taken in response to the cyber incident. 

The IPC will assess the organization’s measures to determine if they are adequate for protecting sensitive information.

The police continue to work closely with the city, the Police Services Board, and internal members to return to full operations. 

Additionally, third-party cybersecurity experts are preparing a report with recommendations to strengthen IT security and prevent future incidents.

Although the cybersecurity report will not be publicly available, Kingston Police emphasize their commitment to transparency and accountability. 

Internal investigations are ongoing, and the department assures the community that efforts to enhance security and restore operations remain a top priority.
