What's happening in Surrey this week with blatant political interference in the local police service should be a much bigger story nationally, but (imo) highlights how poor a job media can do when it comes to covering policing/public safety issues unfortunately.

[Rick Stewart, M.O.M. @RickStewartRet]

@abbytransitsupr Very sorry my friend.

[Rick Stewart, M.O.M. @RickStewartRet]

From our family to yours, we wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!! And a HUGE thank you to all of the first responders sacrificing time with their families to keep us safe over the holidays. 💙

First annual @surreypolunion Christmas Toy Drive for the @SurreyChristmas was a great success with so many generous donations from @surreyps sworn and civilian staff. #MerryChristmas

A huge thank you to @MSAFORD & @FVAM_Official for their generous donation to the BC Law Enforcement Memorial @BCLEMemorial. Helping us honour those officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the citizens of BC. They are our heroes. We shall not forget them. 💙

[Mike Farnworth @mikefarnworthbc]

Pleased to have the opportunity to meet with some of the recruits for the @surreyps. They shared their stories of being connected to the City of Surrey and a desire to keep their community safe.

Looking forward to seeing them shine as they embark on a tough but rewarding career

[Rick Stewart, M.O.M. @RickStewartRet]

@surreypolunion are with our CPA colleagues in Ottawa meeting with MP’s to discuss important policing issues related to public safety.

[Michael Gendron @michaelgendron]

Sincerely appreciate @MPJulian taking the time today to speak with delegates from the Canadian Police Association as part of our annual legislative conference regarding his role and priorities as Public Safety critic for Canada's @NDP.

[Surrey Police Union @surreypolunion]

The use of misinformation & falsehoods to advance her position on policing has caused a loss of credibility for the newly elected #SurreyBC Mayor @brendalockebc

This is an important debate w/ real world implications for the safety of residents

Facts matter
