In order to police the Cloverdale area, the Surrey Police Service disbanded the Gang Crime Unit. They don't have enough officers to serve the city. As of November they are 292 police officers short of what they promised in 2023. They are now offering a $30,000 signing bonus to officers who want to come to Surrey.

This transition has not safely served the people of Surrey. We lost our dog unit and two police helicopters. Now the Gang Crime Unit is gone. It's time the NDP government corrected the horrific decision they made. Here is last week in the city I live. This never happened when the RCMP was in charge!
