VANCOUVER — B.C. Supreme Court Justice Kevin Loo says court documents detailing alleged bullying and harassment of Surrey Police Service members by the RCMP shouldn't be kept from the public.
Lawyers for the ministry told Loo Monday that an affidavit filed by Surrey Police Union president Rick Stewart contains a"long list of bullying and harassment incidents" that if made public could cause"undue public concern about the state of affairs at the Surrey RCMP detachment." The ministry's lawyers sought to keep those details sealed, but the exhibits were not immediately available from the B.C. Supreme Court registry Tuesday.
In a separate dispute, Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke has filed a complaint to B.C.'s Police Complaints Commissioner alleging numerous Surrey Police Service officers withdrew their services in order to meet with their chief and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth, something the Surrey Police Board has denied.
However, the officers who were on shift were never ordered to attend nor withdrawn from service, the statement says, and on-duty officers had radios with them and were available for calls.
