Another director has resigned from the Surrey Police Board in British Columbia, just days after the board fired its chief. James Carwana informed the board on Thursday that he had tendered his resignation, becoming the second director to step down since the ouster of Chief Norm Lipinski. The board, which oversees the city's police force, has been embroiled in controversy following the chief's dismissal. Carwana's departure adds to the turmoil, as the board now faces a leadership vacuum. The Surrey Police Board has not yet announced a replacement for Carwana or commented on the resignations. The chief's firing and subsequent board resignations have raised questions about the governance of the police service in Surrey, a rapidly growing city in Metro Vancouver.
