VICTORIA — British Columbia Solicitor General Mike Farnworth has introduced legislation that will require the City of Surrey to provide policing with a municipal force in the latest jurisdictional salvo over the RCMP and the Surrey Police Service.

The update in the Police Act also gives the province the authority to cancel the RCMP contract it has with Surrey, B.C.'s second most populous city behind Vancouver.

In a written statement, Farnworth said a lack of clarity in the existing Police Act was "exposed" during the Surrey police transition process. "When passed, these amendments will ensure policing transitions proceed in a way that provides certainty for people and maintains public safety."
