British Columbia’s solicitor general has suspended the Surrey Police Board and replaced it with an administrator to perform all its duties, ousting Mayor Brenda Locke from her role in Surrey’s troubled transition from the RCMP to an independent police force.
Mike Farnworth, who is also B.C.’s minister of public safety, announced Thursday that he had appointed former Abbotsford chief constable Mike Serr to take over from the board that was chaired by Locke.
