This afternoon Surrey Police Service (SPS) learned of an incident that took place in Langley, BC. The incident regrettably resulted in the death of an off-duty SPS officer and appears to be self-inflicted. SPS must defer the investigations and details involved to the RCMP and the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) (see IIO news release here). 

SPS wants to acknowledge that the officer was part of our organization and chose a career in law enforcement to assist others. We are working to support the officer’s family and friends, including his SPS work colleagues, during this difficult time.
