Public safety minister setting the stage for imposing a final decision on Surrey, analyst says
On Friday, Public Safety Ministry officials said redactions include sensitive information related to police operations, police tactics, vacancy rates by detachment, B.C. RCMP divisional priorities, confidential discussions with various levels of government and identifiable personal information about various employees. It’s information that could jeopardize public safety and/or the safety of police officers if it is made public, said provincial officials.
Of the present impasse, Gordon said it’s clear the sides have backed themselves into corners, with both sides playing political games. He said the larger issue is what is the province going to do about policing in the long term, pointing to At the end of April, the province’s analysis found the RCMP’s plan had prioritized re-staffing Surrey RCMP over other critical RCMP resourcing needs in the province. It also relied on many SPS officers being willing to join the RCMP to re-staff Surrey, but lacked a strategy in case that did not happen.
