## Resource

Surrey’s police transition just got a whole lot messier as Chief Constable Norm Lipinski was abruptly ousted—just months after his contract was renewed—sparking outrage, political speculation, and fears of destabilizing the force’s ability to hire desperately needed officers. With the municipal election looming, the controversy is reigniting the debate over RCMP versus a new municipal force, while two board members, including the chair, resigned following new provincial appointments. Voters are frustrated by the chaos, and the police union is demanding accountability, even threatening a vote of no confidence. The province now faces the urgent task of filling vacant board seats as questions swirl over whether this move was politically motivated.
