The new Surrey Police Service has announced that they have made three additional leadership hires as they build the force that will replace the RCMP in Surrey. All three are from…the RCMP. They are Lav Mangat, Allison Good, and Michael Procyk.
Superintendent Mangat currently serves as RCMP inspector and
officer in charge of the Financial Integrity Program and with Federal Serious
and Organized Crime. Mangat will work in the Support Services Bureau with
Deputy Chief Constable Jennifer Hyland, also of the RCMP.
Superintendent Good is currently inspector and officer in
charge of operations from the Ridge Meadows RCMP. Good will work in the
Community Policing Bureau with Deputy Chief Mike LeSage, also of the RCMP.
Superintendent Procyk is currently an RCMP senior
investigations officer and inspector with the Combined Forces Special
Enforcement Unit (CFSEU). Procyk will serve in the Investigative Services
Bureau.
New Chief Constable Norm Lipinski, who also has an RCMP
background, said about these hires: “The culmination of this team makes a
dynamic and diverse leadership team who will set the tone, pace and culture of
the organization.”
All of these Surrey police leaders come from the RCMP. That
sure does sound “dynamic and diverse.”
