The Surrey RCMP has spoken out against "misinformation" that has spread following months of criticism of the detachment from mayoral candidates. Several mayoral candidates have made the future of the Surrey RCMP an election issue. On Thursday, the Surrey RCMP took the unusual step of responding to the criticism. The Surrey RCMP said it is impartial to the election and would not comment specifically on any particular campaign. Dwayne McDonald was announced as the new officer in charge of the Surrey RCMP at a news conference with Mayor Linda Hepner.
