Surrey Opts for Paw Patrol Over RCMP in Surprising Twist

The city of Surrey and its Mayor Brenda Locke have given up on trying to keep the RCMP as its police force, and in a move that has left residents scratching their heads, have decided to replace them with none other than popular children's television show characters, Paw Patrol.

Mayor Locke believes that Paw Patrol is the best choice for Surrey, stating that "their record of success in the animated world is unparalleled, and we believe they are more than capable of handling the unique challenges of Surrey's city streets."

In a recent press conference, Locke highlighted the abilities and skills of the main characters of Paw Patrol as reasons for her decision. "Chase is an expert in traffic control and maintaining law and order, while Marshall's fire-fighting skills will come in handy for those unfortunate car accidents. Skye, with her helicopter, will provide us with unprecedented aerial surveillance, ensuring that no crime goes unnoticed."

Rubble, the bulldog construction worker of the group, chimed in, stating, "We're thrilled to be given this responsibility and have already started practicing our catchphrases for when we catch criminals in the act."

The province of BC had previously recommended that Surrey continue its transition to the new Surrey Police Services (SPS) municipal force, offering financial support of up to $150 million over the next five years. However, if Surrey were to revert back to the RCMP, they would not provide any financial assistance, leaving the city responsible for approximately $72 million in severance for SPS officers.

The cost to acquire the Paw Patrol and make the switch is estimated to cost upwards of $250 million dollars due to their high demand and the necessity to purchase the rights from Netflix and Spin Master Corp. Mayor Locke justified the exorbitant cost by stating, "With Paw Patrol on the case, our crime rates will plummet, and the citizens of Surrey will feel safer than ever before. It's a small price to pay for peace of mind."

However, not all residents are on board with this decision. Local mother, Susan Thompson, expressed her concerns, saying, "While I believe Paw Patrol has the skills to get this job done right, my 2-year-old daughter would be devastated if they were no longer able to air new episodes on TV. I guess I'll have to find other ways to babysit my child."

It remains to be seen how successful Paw Patrol will be in their new role as Surrey's municipal police force, but one thing is certain: the city of Surrey is about to embark on an adventure unlike any other.
