THE transition to the Surrey Police Department took a significant step forward on Monday as the Provincial Municipal Policing Transition Study Committee forwarded its report on the Surrey Police transition to the Committee Chair, Wally Oppal.

“I am very pleased that the members of the committee achieved consensus on the report. They have done a superb job,” said Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum. “I very much appreciate the cooperation of the RCMP and other stakeholders in completing a very comprehensive report. All next steps on the transition will be the responsibility of the Surrey Police Board.”

The City said it looks forward to working with the Province, the federal government and the leadership of the RCMP to ensure a smooth and orderly transition to the Surrey Police Department.
