On June 19, 2026, the mayor of Montreal announced a closed‑door meeting with the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) to discuss the planned dismantling of police district 39, known as PDQ 39. The private session will take place before the public hearing on the SPVM’s 2025 report is reconvened, and the hearing itself has been postponed.
The public hearing, originally scheduled to examine the SPVM’s 2025 report, will not occur as planned. Authorities said the postponement allows the mayor and police leadership to address the PDQ 39 dismantling directly, after which the hearing will be rescheduled. No new date for the public session has been set.
PDQ 39, identified as police district 39, is slated for dismantling, prompting the need for a focused discussion between municipal and police officials. The mayor’s engagement with the SPVM reflects an effort to resolve operational changes affecting that district before reopening the report to public scrutiny.
The 2025 report, prepared by the SPVM, was intended for community review at the public hearing. With the hearing delayed, the report will remain under internal consideration until after the private meeting concludes.
The decision to hold a closed‑door meeting underscores the municipal government’s role in policing matters and highlights the procedural step of coordinating district‑level changes before they are presented to the public. The mayor and SPVM have indicated that once the discussion on PDQ 39 is complete, they will set a new date for the public hearing on the 2025 report.
No additional details about the content of the dismantling plan or the timing of the rescheduled hearing have been released at this time.
