Mounties say Surrey hasn’t asked them whether they would like to join city’s new police force GlobeBC
Five months into an ambitious plan to replace the RCMP with a new municipal force in Surrey, hundreds of RCMP officers have yet to be canvassed on their interest in joining the new force or other issues related to the project, the Mounties say.
Some in Surrey say that it is concerning that several months into a two-year effort to replace the Mounties there is no general sense of how the force of about 800 officers in the current RCMP detachment view the project. Mr. McCallum and his Safe Surrey Coalition ran on a promise to create a new police force in Surrey, saying it would offer better service than the RCMP, which has policed the community since 1951.
The Surrey Board of Trade, representing 2,600 members, is opposed to the shift in policing because it says the transition will be logistically challenging and expensive, possibly costing between $50-million and $100-million.
