Deputy Chief Todd Matsumoto now serves as acting chief. With no official explanation from the police board and unclear financial implications, Lipinski’s abrupt exit comes amid ongoing tensions between the force and Mayor Brenda Locke, who opposed the province-mandated transition from RCMP to municipal policing. Despite his 45+ years in law enforcement and senior roles with Delta, Edmonton, and the RCMP, Lipinski’s tenure in Surrey has been marked by public friction, including disputes over rising violence and the suspension of the gang unit, as the force continues its still-unfinished transition.
