Mike Farnworth issued a statement Monday morning saying Surrey had not yet sent in the 400-page report that was its justification for voting to stay with the RCMP
“It is critical that I receive this report. Now is not the time to play games. The safety of people in Surrey is too important.’’
Surrey’s unprecedented mess, which is being closely watched by cities and provinces across the country considering a similar transition, started 4½ years ago when Doug McCallum was elected mayor on a promise to move to a municipal police force. Ms. Locke claimed the RCMP will only need to hire about 160 new officers to get back up to full force, which can be easily done by getting its usual annual complement of 75 new officers a year from the country’s training facility in Regina. The Surrey Police Service, on the other hand, still needs to hire 550 or 600 new officers and they’ll have to poach from many other cities around B.C. to get that.
