The annual costs attached to the Safe Surrey Coalition’s Public Safety Platform are modest and carefully accounted for:
Costs
- 95 New Officers – $15,000,000
- 24 New Bylaw Officers – $2,000,000
- CPSD Community Strategy – $4,000,000
Total: $21,000,000
Payment
- Elimination of Surrey City Development Corporation (administration savings, liquidation of assets) – $10 million NOTE: The Surrey City Development Corporation currently owes the City of Surrey $70 million
- 25% of Taxation from New Businesses and Residents – $5 million (2013 figures)
- 1% savings in Budget (no cuts to police services or city staff) – $6 million (including eliminating the Surrey Regional Economic Summit)
Total: $21,000,000
