Surrey Police Consultation Data

A new civic police department is going to cost taxpayers too much money. Money residents can’t afford to pay. We are tired of rising taxes The Mayor should our aside his personal vendetta and support our current police force. A new police force should only be considered if it can be provided at no more cost to the Surrey taxpayer than RCMP coverage.

A pressing issue in Cloverdale is theft or damage to property (bicycles, cars, delivery packages, etc.), by people who roam the streets around 2:00am looking for things to steal.

A referendum with FULL DETAILS of costs and implications (positive and negative) is necessary to determine if the Surrey residents want to move from RCMP to Municipal.

If you want Surrey to have a voice, that is.

A section of dept that addresses gang prevention where community can participate if they see more activity in neighbourhood. Open door policy where police & buildings accessible by public, with more neighbourhood locations.RCMP lock their entrances.

A smooth transition

A strong bond with neighbouring police services to be able to communicate efforts on a broader scale. A strong transition plan that will get approved. A Vancouver Police type model = more uniformed members on the road at any given time. VPD's model allows for road members to proactive and quickly respond to calls, as they are usually not tied up investigating files.

About time we have our own local police. I expect there will be issues before police runs smoothly but this shouldn’t discourage us from Pershing this. We need this ASAP

ABSOLUTELY NOT! McCallum is if he thinks the cost new force is a 10-per-cent budget increase. Surrey tax payers are going to face significant pressure just to pay for the start up force. And now he’s agreed to honour RCMP pensions S. 22(1)

Accountability

Add more Sikh officers and open up recruitment for immigrants after their permanent residency Add new officers to current RCMP force so it can continue to do its best work. We need a larger force to handle the emerging issues with our growing population. I am strongly opposed to a jump in our taxes.
