Province will not provide any money to support a decision by Surrey city council to end the transition to a municipal police force: Mike Farnworth

BY The Canadian Press, Nov 16, 2022 1:27 AM - REPORT AN ERROR

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth says the province will not be providing any money to support a decision by Surrey city council to end the transition to a municipal police force.

Council voted 5-4 yesterday in favour of keeping the RCMP as promised by new Mayor Brenda Locke during the municipal election campaign.

City staff will now put together a report to re-establish the RCMP as the sole police force in Surrey that will address issues such as severance pay for current members of the municipal force.

It will be sent to Farnworth for final approval and he says he expects to receive it by the end of the month.
