Premier recognizes ‘huge urgency’ in resolving Surrey policing issue
The RCMP has been Surrey’s police of jurisdiction since it took over from the Surrey Police on May 1, 1951, as the result of a plebiscite. Surrey’s is the largest RCMP detachment in all of Canada.
Four years and one civic election later, on Nov. 14, 2022, the current council led by Locke decided on a 5-4 vote to maintain the Surrey RCMP as this city’s police of jurisdiction instead of forging ahead with the Surrey Police Service.Both camps in this acrimonious struggle roundly slammed Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth’s announcement on Thursday, Jan.
The Surrey Police Board, which is set to next meet on Feb. 22, also lamented that delay, stating in a press release it is “unfortunate that a matter of such critical importance to the community is being delayed.”
