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.
Until November 29, 2024, when the Surrey Police Service officially assumed command of all policing and law enforcement duties in the city, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Canada's federal police force, held jurisdiction in the city. The transition to the Surrey Police Service has faced challenges, partly due to opposition from Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke and the municipal government.
