Who should provide policing is now one of Surrey’s defining political questions. Will the transition to a municipal police force continue or will Surrey begin relying again on the services of Canada’s RCMP? Sound bites from politicians on this question have made it more difficult for voters to assess the complex options available to their community. To discuss these questions, Simon Fraser University’s Department of Political Science and SFU Surrey have assembled a forum of experts from SFU and the Surrey community. Experts and advocates with a range of perspectives, alongside the event’s audience, will discuss the future of municipal policing in Surrey and the politics that surround it.
