Mayoral candidates are demanding transparency, especially around the undisclosed severance package, while warning that instability could cripple officer recruitment. With Doug McCallum, the former mayor who championed the municipal force, back in the race, voters are once again divided: some want the RCMP, others the new force, and many just want it settled. Meanwhile, five new provincial appointees to the police board followed by resignations—including the chair—have fueled suspicions of political maneuvering. The current mayor claims ignorance of the chief’s removal, but critics are calling for an investigation. The Surrey Police Union is furious, calling confidence in the board “at an all-time low,” and even walked out of a meeting, signaling deep fractures in policing leadership.
