RCMP SURREY DETACHMENT DEMOBILIZING. OFFICIALLY
Surrey mayor announces a possible 55% property tax rate increase to cover the cost of Surrey Police Service.
"Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke is warning that Surrey residents can expect a one-time property tax increase of 55 per cent if the Surrey Police Service gets the green light from Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth later this month to forge ahead in the transition from the Surrey RCMP to a city-made police force."
Independent accounting firm which examined the budget claims zero tax increase will be required.
Coun. Linda Annis, called Locke’s statements a “scare tactic."

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth weighs in.
Retired Members assist with fictional money laundering case.

Interagency cooperation involves the LAPD, Secret Service, U.S. Coast Guard, Canadian Security Intelligence Service-CSIS, RCMP Vancouver and Surrey Police."
