Surrey mayor says transition to local police force will cost $500-million over the next decade
Surrey city council has released its budget saying if it’s forced to transition away from the RCMP to a local force, it will cost half a billion dollars more over the next decade.
Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke says in a statement that the budget is based on the city staying with the RCMP and if it is forced to transition to the independent service, the costs would be much higher. Farnworth told reporters at the legislature that government and city officials have been negotiating an agreement and an offer is on the table for the city.
