$14.28M pay bump in Surrey Police union deal over 4 years<\/p>\n
Published 1:50 pm Friday, August 28, 2026<\/p>\n
Surrey Police Board and Surrey Police Union have reached a new four-year collective agreement hailed for labour and cost certainty during \u201ca significant period\u201d in the Surrey Police Service (SPS) transition.<\/p>\n
In a joint statement, the board and union say the deal, covering the term Jan. 1, 2025 to Dec. 31, 2028, includes a general wage increase in line with other municipal police departments for 2025 and 2026, plus general increases for 2027 (4.25 per cent) and 2028 (4.0 per cent).<\/p>\n
The agreement is \u201caligned with the SPB\u2019s overall costing mandate for parity with Vancouver Police wage and benefit improvements negotiated in the fall of 2025,\u201d reads a statement Friday, Aug. 28.<\/p>\n
The total increase for Surrey Police is approximately $14.283 million, or 13 per cent of baseline wages, which was included in the 2026 operating budget.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe four-year settlement will also provide labour and cost certainty during a significant period in the Surrey Police Service (SPS) transition, including the assumption of responsibility for policing in Guildford\/Fleetwood, continued recruitment and retention of experienced officers and recruits, and the transition to a new Chief Constable,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n
Union president Ryan Buhrig and police board chair Perm Jawanda both applaud the agreement, as does Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke.<\/p>\n
The deal \u201crecognizes the important work police officers do to keep Surrey safe and supports the continued development of a strong municipal police service,\u201d Locke stated. \u201cI want to thank both sides for their efforts and commitment in reaching this outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"$14.28M pay bump in Surrey Police union deal over 4 years Published 1:50 pm Friday, August 28, 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":875094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-875093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=875093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/875094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=875093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=875093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=875093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
