Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 Sep, 2024 03:40 PM

R-C-M-P and the Surrey Police Service are set to keep working alongside each other, even after the takeover date by the municipal police force.

The S-P-S is slated to take jurisdiction of Surrey on November 29th, but says the R-C-M-P will continue to operate in the area and help with transition support.

The police service says Surrey residents can expect and will continue to see both S-P-S and Mountie cruisers in the community.

The Surrey Police haven't offered a timeline for how long the process will take.
