On August 16, 2022, a police officer with Surrey Police Service (SPS) was arrested by the Surrey RCMP and subsequently released on conditions, pending further investigation. SPS has chosen to release this information now in the interest of transparency.

The SPS officer is facing a charge for an alleged Breach of Trust, however the charge has not yet been approved by BC Prosecution Service (BCPS). SPS has notified the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner about the incident.

The officer was hired by SPS in May 2022, with just over one year of previous policing experience.

On August 17th, SPS Chief Constable Norm Lipinski suspended this officer with pay, pending the outcome of the criminal investigation, which is being handled by the Surrey RCMP. Given that no charges have been laid, neither the officer’s identity nor further details about the incident can be released at this time.

The British Columbia provincial court has handed a retired RCMP officer a suspended sentence, saying the man was "reckless" but not deceitful when he convinced a neighbour to invest in his failing cannabis company. The court ruling says six years after Jasvindar Singh Basi retired from the RCMP he incorporated a cannabis company called GrowX Global Corp., and its business plan was "centred" on building a production facility in Mission, B.C. The ruling posted online this week says Basi promoted investing in the business to his neighbour, who along with a friend each invested $75,000 that they l

Health minister says rare-disease funds denied again for B.C. girl Charleigh Pollock

A family from Langford, B.C., hoping to extend the life of their little girl who has a rare disease has been rejected again for coverage of medication that costs about $1 million a year. Health Minister Josie Osborne says in a statement that she knows the outcome of the review process is not what the family of Charleigh Pollock wanted. Osborne says she met with Pollock's parents last week to accept further information about Batten disease that they said hadn't been considered by the B.C. rare diseases expert committee, which first recommended funding for the girl's medicine be stopped. But the
