What's happening in Surrey this week with blatant political interference in the local police service should be a much bigger story nationally, but (imo) highlights how poor a job media can do when it comes to covering policing/public safety issues unfortunately.
From our family to yours, we wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!! And a HUGE thank you to all of the first responders sacrificing time with their families to keep us safe over the holidays. 💙
First annual @surreypolunion Christmas Toy Drive for the @SurreyChristmas was a great success with so many generous donations from @surreyps sworn and civilian staff. #MerryChristmas
The Chief Constable and his Sergeant Major paying their respects to the fallen before entering HQ for POJ at 12:01 am, November 29th. A new era of policing in Surrey begins.
A huge thank you to @MSAFORD & @FVAM_Official for their generous donation to the BC Law Enforcement Memorial @BCLEMemorial. Helping us honour those officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the citizens of BC. They are our heroes. We shall not forget them. 💙
Kudos to @TransitPolice for another successful charity golf tournament for Special Olympics today. Great day for a great cause. @surreypolunion @surreyps @DPOLICEASSOC

Pleased to have the opportunity to meet with some of the recruits for the @surreyps. They shared their stories of being connected to the City of Surrey and a desire to keep their community safe.
Looking forward to seeing them shine as they embark on a tough but rewarding career
Heartbreaking news out of Revelstoke. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and colleagues of Firefighter Devyn Gale. #service #sacrifice #hero
Happy Canada Day!! Wishing everyone a safe and fun-filled long weekend. Shout out to all of the first responders sacrificing time away from their families to keep us all safe.

Rob Shaw: Surrey outflanked by the province in its policing destiny: Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke has lost the game, even when left to choose between a local force and the RCMP #opinion #commentary dlvr.it/SnH1v9

The use of misinformation & falsehoods to advance her position on policing has caused a loss of credibility for the newly elected #SurreyBC Mayor @brendalockebc
This is an important debate w/ real world implications for the safety of residents
Facts matter
#bcpoli
Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke claimed in a press release that every mayor in Metro Vancouver supports her campaign to keep the RCMP in Surrey.
I talked to a bunch of Metro Vancouver mayors.
She's out to lunch.

Mayor Brenda Locke issued a false statement on @MetroVancouver Board vote. The Mayors committee did not vote to keep the RCMP in Surrey, as claimed. Brenda Locke should apologize to metro vancouver mayors and the public. Read our statement 👇#bcpoli

Each one are Fathers, Mothers, Daughters, Sons, Brothers, Sisters, Spouses, Friends, Colleagues and Community Heroes. They answered a call and paid the ultimate sacrifice. 9 Officers in 6 months. It’s not what they signed up for. Change is needed. Talk is cheap. #EnoughlsEnough
