The meeting of the Surrey Police Board was held for the first time yesterday after the instructions given by the state government regarding the transfer of the Surrey Police.
This meeting was very stressful.
The meeting was chaired by Brenda Locke, Mayor of Surrey and Chair of the Surrey Police Board.
Mayor Locke meanwhile asked all the members present to treat each other with respect.
It is worth noting that some board members mentioned that the Mayor and Council should have stood firm in keeping the RCMP.
The Mayor while reading a pre-prepared statement, pleaded that while she would encourage productive debate, unprofessional comments would not be tolerated.
