   B.C.’s director of police services bypassed the standard police board   
   appointment process in appointing Harley Chappell — the son of a declared   
   former member of the Hells Angels — to the Surrey Police Board.   
      
   A June 1, 2020 briefing note from director Brenda Butterworth-Carr to Minister   
   of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth shows how the provincial   
   government appointed its seven members to the newly established nine-member   
   board.   
      
   The note explains the “Indigenous peoples considerations” that factored   
   into Chappell’s appointment. (Greg: HArley cHAppel lives on the Surrey   
   reserve and pays no property taxes for that reason alone he shouldn't be on   
   the Surrey Police Board. His    
   deceased Dad was at one time a full patch White Rock HAMC member. HArley   
   cHAppel  posted pictures to his FB feed of the White Rock HAMC Pres wearing   
   his patch and a White Rock HAMC who did time for dealing cocaine he was at the   
   same event they were at.    
   The Surrey Police Board should be elected and the prov. NDP govt says they are   
   looking into that.)    
      
   Butterworth-Carr stated she received 76 applicants, conducted 25 interviews   
   and then made recommendations to Farnworth for six candidates, after 11   
   secondary interviews. After listing the six double-interviewed and recommended   
   members, the note    
   subsequently indicates: “The director also recommends the appointment of the   
   Chief Harley Chappell from the Semiahmoo First Nation.”   
      
      
   Butterworth-Carr states Indigenous representation on a police board helps   
   support reconciliation efforts, such as reducing the overrepresentation of   
   Indigenous people in the justice system.   
      
   That Semiahmoo First Nation (SFN) is the only First Nation with lands that   
   fall within the municipal boundary was another factor.   
      
   “To ensure SFN’s interests are represented and to support the Province’s   
   commitment to reconciliation, the Director recommends the appointment of Chief   
   Harley Chappell as a provincial appointee to the Board.”   
      
   Butterworth-Carr used the recent appointment of Tsawwassen First Nation Chief   
   Ken Baird to the Delta Police Board to support her recommendation of Chappell.   
      
   There’s no indication from the note Chappell had competition from within   
   Surrey’s Indigenous community, which is the largest urban one in the   
   province and includes the Katzie First Nation on unincorporated Barnston   
   Island, which is served by Surrey    
   RCMP. (Greg: Great there are around 20k Natives in BC and they pick a guy who   
   hangs out with full patch Hell's Angels and puts pics of them on his FB page.   
   Butterworth-Carr (not related to me)  was obviously  a gender equity hire by   
   the RCMP. We need    
   females in law enforcement we don't need Butterworth-Carr or RCMP lesbian   
   butch officer Sturko. )   
      
   When Glacier Media asked the ministry specific questions about Chappell’s   
   appointment, ministry spokesperson Jason Watson stated: “An extensive   
   assessment and screening process is used to interview and appoint community   
   members with the skills,    
   competencies and attributes that align with the needs and responsibilities of   
   the Board. Candidates are interviewed, complete a declaration form (Candidate   
   Profile Declaration), which includes declarations of conflicts of interest and   
   any other    
   information that might be of concern, and consent to a criminal record   
   check.”   
      
   It’s not made clear if being the son of a former Hells Angel might be of   
   concern. (Greg: A lot of ppl are not like their parents like moi but being the   
   son of a full patch member of the largest criminal conspiracy in Canada the   
   HAMC and posting    
   pictures of them at an event you were at willingly and approvingly is beyond   
   the pale.)    
      
   Watson stated the director reviewed the Surrey Police Board (SPB) appointees   
   “and is satisfied that the established processes were followed in this   
   case.”   
      
   The ministry did not confirm or deny if Chappell made known his father’s   
   former participation in the motorcycle club and gang.   
      
   The appointment of Chappell has been widely criticized. Critics suggest it   
   highlights a process that’s been rushed for political expediency. (Greg : I   
   am no Red Serge fever guy and have been arrested by Surrey RCMP a number of   
   times and been in Echo    
   Unit and biker seg. and been questioned about things I knew nothing about and   
   still don't the idea of Mayor Mcallum the unethical and lying pudgy, red faced   
   alkie heading a police board and directing a force he created after he told   
   the RCMP the last    
   time he was Mayor not to release crime stats to the media because they made   
   Surrey look bad is ludicrous. The Mayor won the last election but he received   
   less than 50% of the vote and in Canada there are no run off elections unlike   
   what often happens in    
   America.  Many polls show the Surrey Police Force idea is not wanted and   
   demonstrations against always outnumber the supporters. There are KTRIS signs   
   and stickers in Surrey not one supporting Surrey Police Force. McCallum and   
   for some reason the NDP BC    
   Govt. won't give us a referendum on this.)    
      
   Photos of Chappell at a Hells Angels funeral, standing alongside full-patch   
   members, emerged on social media in December. Chappell told the Vancouver Sun   
   his dad, Philip Chappell, left the gang in 1992 and that he no longer has any   
   association with the    
   club, which the BC RCMP does not classify as an organized criminal   
   organization. (Greg: HAMC is the classic definition of organized crime they   
   should all be in prison like the Mafia. There are various things on the WWW   
   that say RCMP classifies HAMC as    
   organized crime https://www.thestar.com/news/cannabis/2019/03/08   
   rcmp-worried-hells-angels-and-mafia-would-take-over-medical-cann   
   bis-business-internal-report-says.html being one.)   
      
   The SPB is overseeing the transition process from the Surrey RCMP to the   
   Surrey Police Service.   
      
   Surrey RCMP will eventually hand over all investigation files to SPS. One of   
   those files will be a dormant investigation of a fire that burned down Philip   
   Chappell’s home on Dec. 21, 2018, that investigators deem suspicious.
