“Surrey is facing a serious and growing crisis of organized extortion, intimidation and targeted shootings,” Mayor Locke said. “Residents and business owners are living in constant fear. Public safety is at risk, and the social and economic impact is real. The federal government needs to act now to give authorities the additional tools we need to keep our residents safe.”

Mayor Locke’s motion reiterated her call to appoint a Commissioner for Extortion Violence Against Canadians to oversee the implementation of key measures, including:

Immediate deployment of additional RCMP, federal organized crime units, and intelligence resources to Surrey

Federal RCMP leadership of a joint federal-provincial-municipal task force with authority to act rapidly on extortion-related violence

Expedited removal of non-citizens charged or convicted of extortion, firearms offences, or participation in extortion-related criminal activity

Review of legislative gaps and recommendations to strengthen police capacity for arresting, charging and prosecuting offenders Quarterly public reporting on the severity of extortion-related activity and progress in addressing the crisis

It's not a bug it's a feature!

A bonus feature of importing the Third World dregs to your nation without limit.

I hadn't read about this being a problem before but I am certainly not surprised.

I can't wait for this to start showing up in our country.

I believe I had read about kidnaping becoming a problem near the Mexico boarder a few years ago, but not recentlyl.

I suppose that the national press was told to not cover it.

I can’t believe Surrey’s mayor is named “Brenda”, and not “Brendeep”.
