BREAKING: Surrey Police Service should replace RCMP, Mike Farnworth says
Surrey’s transition to the Surrey Police Service should continue, the province has recommended.
“Everyone deserves to be safe in their community and all British Columbians deserve secure, stable policing they can count on,” stated Farnworth in a release. “The people of Surrey are very frustrated by years of uncertainty over this debate, but we must move forward without reducing police presence when we need it the most. Now is not the time to put public safety at risk in Surrey or in any community in the province.
“This path forward will ensure safer policing for all regions of the province, including the people of Surrey, and provincial support will help keep them from paying significant property tax increases,” Farnworth said.
