Surrey Police Union says most members will not join RCMP

[@stfsgtking]

The government should focus on ending police corruption in BC. It's in every police detachment in the lower mainland.

The SPS should be continued. Gone are the days of the RCMP contracting for these cities. Change needs to happen so that the citizenry is protected.

[@glenf8012]

Bigger question. Will they be accepted.

[@jarod144]

RCMP corruption needs to end

[@KillerSniper55]

The RCMP was never designed to handle the size of city that surrey has become. It needs its own police force. Not to mention that the cost of dismantling the Surrey Police Force will be much higher than just finishing the transition. All for what? To have a police force that is horribly under staffed and under equipped?

[@Harbinger343]

RCMP can be moved and posted throughout Canada. I would imagine that isn't very attractive to SPS members.

[@justin21491]

Exactly, people want to serve their community and not have to move their whole family throughout Canada their entire career. It is a condition of employment that you will be willing to relocate to wherever the RCMP sees fit.

[@Harbinger343]

@The Perfect Life 007 Do you think that would help or hinder the doctor shortage? People aren’t slaves to be shipped around like chattel. CBSA, the military, and the RCMP are all having recruitment problems - basically every organization that expects that you uproot your family and move every few years. Usually thousands of km away from any family or community ties.

[@MarcDufresneosorusrex]

@The Perfect Life 007 open your own clinic? why work for the government?

[@Harbinger343]

@The Perfect Life 007 very wrong. Use whatever encouragement and incentives you want to attract doctors to these communities. We have this thing called the charter of rights and freedoms that might be a barrier for the kind of indentured servitude that you advocate.

[@Harbinger343]

@The Perfect Life 007 good for you. You can quit anytime you like. What are you going to do if a doctor refuses to move to whichever frozen hell the government wants him in? Throw him in prison? Strip him of his medical license?

[@kevincharbonneau5953]

More municipal, less federal.👍

[@drewd3222]

The people of Surrey initially opted in favour of SPS and should complete its transition. Brenda manipulated the issue in her favour just because the transition was associated with former Mayor McCallum. Surrey can’t keep going back n forth w this issue especially now where millions have already been spent n it already being half way completed. Surrey is set to overtake Vancouvers population soon and needs its own Policeforce. The RCMP is meant for small towns!

[@TakumiJoyconBoyz]

I came from a small town. We had our own police force and it went far better than having the RCMP around. Honestly, I think having community driven police forces is far superior.

[@drewd3222]

@@TakumiJoyconBoyz I agree. How much more for a city thats growing as fast as Surrey, completing the transition to SPS will benefit it greatly. The city is full of naysayers who don’t want to pay higher taxes to facilitate the transition/new service and feel RCMP is adequate enough. I have yet to hear anything to convince me that the RCMP is better for Surrey.

[@TakumiJoyconBoyz]

@@drewd3222 Yeah, and those same people don't seem to realize that those taxes, especially at the local level come back to you in so many more worthwhile ways that you generally end up spending less in the long run.

[@RandomAnonamo]

Having worked as a security, I question the quality of candidates the Surrey police may employ.

[@Jsuttar]

And working in security makes you a police recruitment expect how? 😅😅

[@RandomAnonamo]

@@Jsuttar No, not at all. But I worked with a lot of people who were rejected by them.

[@justing4260]

You're joking right, plenty of RCMP officers in the lower mainland are ex drug dealers and have speeding charges, I know of plenty who are not perfect so why are you saying that the Siri police force would be any different?

[@RandomAnonamo]

@@justing4260 I think I see the disconnect. I don't think that. What I'm saying is, the RCMP have a very extensive vetting system, that still fails. I can't imagine building a new one from the ground up would be easy, especially since there are so many people who want the position that should never be trusted with that kind of power. I feel we're on the same side here.

[@MarcDufresneosorusrex]

The center city has no one's best interest at heart; only their own; nothing personal. Thank you to all who made the switch to Surrey, god bless. more local , less global 👌

[@zachwalden317]

See those charges against McCallum? That would never happen under municipal force

[@SailorGreenTea]

0:35, so she won on doing nothing? Surrey gets discount policing with the Canadian mounted police and is that good?

If they won’t leave ..rent them out to Walmart as greeters. Walmart can pay minimum wage and the old police force can pay them the rest…take away their paid days off..don’t let them accumulate sick days…make them wear Walmart outfits..hahahaha..then they will leave…

[@jamesfehr1]

Doesn’t seem like we were given the whole story. Is there something behind why the mayor wants to make the change? Why does the current union not want to be absorbed by the RCMP? Is it unusually lucrative? Are there current problems going on in the Surrey Police Service?

[@evilapple3427]

they addressed that in the video...If Surrey police is on their own, then they are not able to join mounties trainning because that is exclusive for RCMP. Surrey police does not want to join RCMP because they only want to police Surrey and not be dispatched to other areas like what happens with RCMP.

[@blaXkgh0st]

thanks for leaving comments open.

[@AllPr0Killa]

Aren’t police public servants? The people of Surrey have voted, why are the police fighting against the voters wish.

[@rickreed9525]

Clearly Doug Mcallum didnt think when he made this surrey police transition. Clearly a thoughtless decision. Taxpayer is the one being soldout. More officers is needed t9 help with the population rate. Some one wasnt thinking common sense. Delta police service couldve been integrated with Surrey. That wasnt thought through.

[@rickweber2556]

Surrey has become too large for the RCMP.

[@Dracoool]

Why is this happening? There is always an angle.

[@justin21491]

A lot of it may have to do with the unwillingness to continually relocate. You have to switch detachments every few years with the RCMP and it is understandable that many people do not want to move around the province or country their entire careers.

[@fastestdino2]

my tinfoil hat head canon is that the federal government wants more control over policing in the provinces because they're getting tired of the provinces telling them to take a hike.

[@danielpark8003]

The previous mayor of Surrey Doug made a good decision and he knew it. We need our own police force and we need more jobs for that civilian department and officers too. Yes the days of RCMP is almost over in Surrey. Surrey had its own police force until 1950. The challenges are even greater with mental health, drug addiction, homelessness, and youths who need role models to look up too because someday they want to be police officers. It is giving back to your community.

[@peternault7040]

Giving deep grassroots communities and immigrant dense neighbourhoods the power to police means the federal government has to relinquish control to divisive groups and foreign influences who have deeply established themselves for generations. They'll keep the peace just fine, but on a national scale I think Canada is too young, it's still in a fluid state with weak borders and a vast territory to police.

[@TSM260]

300 Members just wont cut it. Just add more rcmp Members. Cities the same size have 1000+ Officers. Before the transition the RCMP had 800+, just add more. Top pay with thecRCMP is 106k, with the new Surrey PD its 120k, where are the savings?

[@DonJohnson-vk3fm]

Most Surrey officers aren't eligible to join rcmp and can't witch tells you of what officers are you getting with Surrey police

[@d.e.c1609]

That's not a bad idea actually.

[@mre8703]

Rcmp needs to be dismantled

[@intiaboats]

All true, obviously, however, Locke's mandate is clear. Therefore, those who want jobs with The RCMP's Surrey detachment will sign up & the others will look for work elsewhere. This, remember, is not Locke's mistake, rather, Doug M.'s mistake in not accurately assessing & supporting the will of the majority of Surrey's voters.

[@drewd3222]

Brenda won by only 900 votes and only received 28% of total votes counted. She does not represent the Majority, far from it. She was the only Mayoral candidate opposed to the transition, I wouldn’t be surprised if the RCMP had funded her campaign “Keep the RCMP”. I blame her for turning this issue into Political Football. What a waste of time n money if she is successful in dismantling the SPS.
