The new Surrey Police Service (SPS) has set a date for when it plans to have boots on the ground.
The first group of 50 officers will be deployed on or before Nov. 30, the SPS said Tuesday.
As part of a phased transition process, SPS officers will be assigned positions within the Surrey RCMP. More officers will be brought in throughout 2022 and 2023.
