Lipinski previously worked for the Edmonton Police Service and the RCMP before his role in Delta.

In a media release, the party pledged to freeze the transition promise, "provide transparency and accountability" and then hold a referendum on the transition.

A majority of respondents also said the Surrey Police Board should disclose budget information and delay implementation of a new Surrey Police Service until after the next municipal election.

More than 52 per cent of respondents said they planned to stay with the RCMP.

Harley Chappell, board member and Semiahmoo First Nation Chief, asked about understanding the cost of the transition from the RCMP to a municipal force.

"We’re getting into petty politics and staff should not be involved in it," said Surrey City Councillor Linda Annis.

Police say they launched an investigation after a Surrey, B.C., business owner reported the theft of 25 cell phones from their vehicle.

The report found a Surrey Police Department would cost the city nearly 11 per cent more, but will come with more boots on the ground.
