Surrey, BC - The Surrey Police Board (SPB) and Surrey Police Union (SPU) have reached an agreement to renew their collective agreement. The renewed collective agreement is a four-year term covering January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028.

The new agreement includes a general wage increase in line with other municipal police departments for 2025 and 2026, plus general increases for 2027 (4.25%) and 2028 (4.0%).

The agreement is aligned with the SPB’s overall costing mandate for parity with Vancouver Police wage and benefit improvements negotiated in the fall of 2025. The total increase for Surrey Police is approximately $14.283 million or 13.0% of baseline wages, which was included in the 2026 operating budget.

The 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.

“For our members, the agreement will provide welcomed stability following several years of

uncertainty,” said Ryan Buhrig, President of the SPU. “The agreement will also be a positive step toward improving morale and addressing workload concerns identified by the Surrey Police Union.”

“This agreement strengthens the relationships between the SPU, SPS, SPB and the City of Surrey, as we continue to focus on our shared objective of building a successful police service for Surrey.” said Perm Jawanda, Board Chair.
