A shakeup within the Edmonton Police Commission, chair John McDougall has resigned effective immediately. The move comes after McDougall announced on Friday he was retiring and moving to Portugal.
Prior to his decision, McDougall said he would stay on as chair of the commission until the end of the term, which would have been at the end of 2025.
“It is clear that my residency would be an unwelcome distraction from the important work of the commission, which is not fair to the citizens who rely on us to provide governance and oversight of the Edmonton Police Service,” said McDougall in a statement.
