Surrey city council rejected a $250M offer from the province to help transition to an independent police force, opting to stay with the RCMP. The province had introduced legislation to force the city to transition from the Surrey RCMP to the Surrey Police Service, which is opposed by Surrey's mayor. The city's budget revealed that if forced to transition away from the RCMP, the added cost would be half a billion dollars over the next decade.
