Mayor Brenda Locke calls allegations of political interference in Police Operations “Very Serious,” confirms city review underway

Calling the matter “very serious”, Mayor Brenda Locke said the city is undertaking its own review and has informed the B.C. Solicitor General, stressing that elected officials have no authority over police operations. She rejected claims that councillors direct policing decisions. Mayor also clarified that Surrey Police already have 24/7 access to the city’s traffic camera system, with real-time viewing now expanding following privacy-related approvals.
