Lawyer says RCMP bullying claims in Surrey policing case could cause ‘undue’ concern

April 29, 2024
A B.C. government lawyer says court documents in a policing dispute with the City of Surrey contain significant allegations of harassment and bullying by the RCMP that should be kept from public view because they could cause “undue public concern.”Trevor Bant was speaking at the start of a hearing on Surrey’s petition challenging a direction by Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth that the city transition from the RCMP to the municipal Surrey Police Service.Surrey claims the province overstepped its authority by ordering the transition, after a prolonged public dispute over the future of policing in the city.
