Surrey Police Service

The Surrey Police Service (SPS) is a municipal police force in the city of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. It is one of several police departments within the Metro Vancouver Regional District, and as of December 2022, the second largest municipal police service in British Columbia. Prior to the SPS's establishment, Surrey was Canada's largest city without a municipal police service. The RCMP, a federal agency, currently has policing jurisdiction in Surrey, and Surrey's present mayor is resisting the transition to a municipal police force.
