Surrey's RCMP Members: Proud to Serve Our Community

RCMP Members and Surrey residents deserve clear, credible information on the police transition. They deserve a plan for public safety in B.C.

Surrey residents deserve certainty about their police service and the timing of the police transition. They have seen firsthand the challenges a lack of planning creates. It’s time the government provided a fulsome plan to resource our police, support those in crisis, and address repeat offenders.

The current provincial government has indicated they were willing to spend $250 million, over a quarter of a billion dollars, to fund the unwanted transition from the Surrey RCMP to the Surrey Police Service (SPS). This money could go much further if invested in any number of public safety initiatives that could actually improve the safety of our communities.

The financial strain of this transition will be felt by all British Columbians, and spending will continue into 2034, eight years after the transition is expected to be complete.
