Locke has claimed that a Surrey Police Service would be significantly more expensive, and keeping the RCMP would save $520 million over four years, an assertion disputed by the Surrey Police Board.Article contentIn statements released after Locke’s win, the Surrey Police Board and the Surrey Police Service noted that 350 staff, including 150 police officers, are now employed with the municipal force.
On Monday, in a news briefing, Solicitor-General Mike Farnworth said his ministry would have to see a concrete plan to support halting the transition from Surrey. He added he would also have to see a plan from the RCMP on how they would deal with the stop to a Surrey police force, including how it affects the Mounties and how they intend to add staff.
But she and other councillors split from McCallum over policing and others issues such as transparency. However, he believes that it will be more politically difficult for Locke to push ahead with her campaign promise than she may realize, particularly if it becomes expensive to do so. Telford noted that she has a slim majority and it all it would take is for one councillor on her team to have a change of mind.Article content
