Surrey votes to keep RCMP; councillors ‘muzzled’ after closed-door decision
In February, the union filed a complaint with the commissioner alleging conflict-of-interest on Stutt’s part. Its president Rob Stewart issued a statement charging that Stutt voted to end the transition to Surrey Police Service from the Surrey RCMP without disclosing that his son is employed by the Surrey RCMP and his daughter is seconded from the City of Surrey and assigned to the RCMP. Nor did Stutt recuse himself, Steward stated.
Meanwhile, Surrey First Councillor Linda Annis called Thursday’s behind-closed-doors council decision to keep the RCMP “an insult” to the people of Surrey. She said the in-camera meeting is not a good look when transparency has been an ongoing issue throughout the transition process.
