Mayor Brenda Locke, whose party holds the balance of power on council, has stated consistently that her goal is to keep the RCMP and halt the change to the municipal force. The Surrey Police and its oversight Surrey Police Board were created with provincial government approval, and can only be disbanded by the same authority.
The police board had planned deployments of up to 35 additional officers every two months. Phase 2 would have seen Surrey RCMP officers working under Surrey Police command and Phase 3 would have seen the city force in total control of policing. This was forecast to begin in July 2023. According to the staff report, a timely decision from Farnworth on whether to reverse the SPS mandate was vital.
