Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth has temporarily suspended the Surrey Police Board – of which Mayor Brenda Locke was chairwoman – and appointed retired Abbotsford police chief Mike Serr as its replacement administrator.
“Today, I am announcing the appointment of Mike Serr as the administrator of the Surrey Police Board to assume the functions of the board to assist with Surrey’s transition to the SPS,” Farnworth stated in a press release Thursday afternoon.
