A Path Forward for Policing in Langley
Council passed the following motion:
WHEREAS the Police Servicing Agreement between Langley City and the Township of Langley that outlines how policing resources, including RCMP members and support staff, are cost-shared between the two communities has expired since December 31, 2022.
WHEREAS the Township of Langley served the two-year termination notice to Langley City on May 10, 2023 to end the Capital and Operations Cost Sharing Agreement that outlines how the construction and operating costs of the Langley RCMP detachment are shared proportionately between the two municipalities, based on the use and occupancy of their respective RCMP members and support staff.
WHEREAS public safety is paramount.
WHEREAS Langley City Council’s priority is to ensure adequate and effective policing with mutual agreements that will serve both communities.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT Langley City Council request the BC Policing and Security Branch immediately appoint an independent and impartial facilitator to objectively review the current statistics, resource allocation, staffing levels, and capital and operating costs that are apportioned between both municipalities and provide a “foundational facts” report based on this objective review that both Langley City and the Township of Langley can use to negotiate new agreements by the end of May.
