No Shake-Up Planned for Surrey Police Board
Delta’s mayor sees no reason to overhaul the Surrey Police Board, even as new appointments move forward. While some expected debate, the message from Delta is clear: stay the course.
The province and Surrey’s mayor will soon choose five new members for the board. However, Delta’s mayor believes the current structure works well and does not call for reform.
Province and Mayor to Fill Key Roles
Five new appointments are on the horizon. These roles matter. After all, the Surrey Police Board helps guide policing priorities, oversee governance, and ensure accountability in one of B.C.’s fastest-growing cities.
Because of that, attention has turned to who will fill these seats. Yet, despite the spotlight, Delta’s mayor remains confident in the board’s direction.
Focus on Stability and Public Safety
Policing in Surrey has faced major changes in recent years. The transition from the RCMP to a municipal force sparked debate across the region. Still, Delta’s mayor stresses the importance of stability during this period.
Rather than reopening old discussions, the mayor supports moving forward with steady leadership. In addition, collaboration between municipal and provincial leaders remains key.
What Happens Next?
Now, all eyes are on the appointment process. Once selected, the five new members will help shape Surrey’s policing strategy moving ahead.
For residents, the priority stays the same: safe communities and clear accountability. And for now, Delta’s mayor sees no need to fix what isn’t broken.
