City of Surrey's 2022-2026 Financial Plan

HEALTH AND SAFETY SERVICES

POLICE SERVICES Policing services are transferring to a new delivery model where Surrey Police Service (“SPS”) will be the police of jurisdiction as the municipal police service for Surrey. Until then services are delivered under the current contracted policing agreement with RCMP as the police of jurisdiction. The Surrey Police Board established the SPS in August of 2020 and since then it has been scaling up its operations to prepare for handover of command. To facilitate the transfer of policing services, SPS officers are currently deployed alongside RCMP officers in a phased integrated approach supported by the Surrey Policing Transition Trilateral Committee (“SPTTC”). The SPTTC is comprised of senior representatives of the three levels of government who are responsible for guiding the handover of policing services. A detailed implementation plan supports the first phase of the transition with RCMP and SPS officers deployed on operational duties in Surrey. To date SPS officers assigned into the RCMP unit have responded to over 1,000 calls for service to support Surrey residents. Services are being delivered to citizens via the policing services buildings at the Justice Complex on Highway 10 and from five community policing stations across Surrey. Citizens needing assistance in an emergency should continue to call 911 or if they wish to report an incident, they should continue to call the non-emergency number 604-599-0502.
