An idea to share West Vancouver Police along all three municipalities on the North Shore seems to have hit a roadblock.
Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender says at a regional symposium, the Mayor of West Vancouver poured cold water on the idea, “Well, Mayor Smith from West Vancouver said that at the moment that is not seen as a priority by his citizens. But, I guess again, until some of that work is done on looking at what those options are and what the costs and implications would be, you know, nothing is a dead issue.”
The Mayors of North Vancouver City and District are floating the idea of sharing West Vancouver Police as an avenue to opt out of the RCMP contract.
Other Mayors in the region, like Burnaby and Richmond, are also exploring policing options to the RCMP.
