In their song
Won’t Get Fooled Again, rock band the Who called out the famous line, “Meet the new boss / same as the old boss.”
Residents of Surrey might be excused for feeling that this aptly describes the leadership of the city’s new municipal police force, which has been drawn from the ranks of the “old boss”, the RCMP.
On November 19, 2020, it was announced that the police board had tabbed Norm Lipinski to be the first chief of the city s new force. Lipinski was most recently the deputy chief of the Delta Police Department and before that spent years with the Edmonton Police Service before becoming assistant commissioner with the RCMP’s E Division (British Columbia).
