I firmly believe that the end result will be significantly fewer boots on the street (and vehicles) when the new municipal police force replaces the RCMP in Surrey.
The idiots in Surrey that voted in this mayor are definitely going to regret it when all is said and done. When you consider the initial costs of creating a new force, and the costs associated with senior management that will need to be put in place that the RCMP was providing in Otttawa, etc, even with a significantly larger budget, I beleive they will still have less people doing actual policing.
And so one side effect that I predict is that this means there will be less officiers to enforce non-emergency policing like, for example, harrassing Johns that are picking up SWs. I have a friend that lives in a newer apt. building around 105 and Univeristy in Surrey. She got a good deal on the rent I suspect because of extra traffic caused by the SWs in that general area. I know I see one or more RCMP SUVs patrolling in the area each time I visit her. Again, I don't expect to see that kind of policing from the new force.
So expect Surrey to become the SW capital of Canada. Should be entertaining to watch at the very least.
