E division will probably be gone in less than 10 years anyway, replaced with metro police or more city police forces. Why Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond and others all still use RCMP is beyond me. The region needs to grow up and take care of itself.
If the RCMP is lucky they might still have E-division forces in the rest of the province if we don't go with a provincial police force.

That actually doesn't really matter. The RCMP in several other areas also share buildings with other municipal forces so what would most likely happen if Surrey did away with the RCMP contract and starts its own police force (or the region created one) is that the building would transfer ownership over and the RCMP would take a reduced amount of space in the existing building. Many RCMP officers currently in the Surrey detachment would most likely move over anyway to the new muni-police force.
I'm still of the opinion though that the RCMP will be the police force in Surrey for a while longer and that 10 years is a long way away and a lot can change. Think back 10 years ago and all the changes that have happened since.
