Edmonton police commissioner plans to serve 2 final years of his term from Portugal

John McDougall, a seven-year member of the Edmonton police commission and its current chair, plans to spend two more years on the oversight board from Portugal.

In a statement released Friday, McDougall said he is retiring from his career in the Canadian Armed Forces and moving overseas.

His time as the commission chair is up on Dec. 31, 2024, and he said he won’t seek that position again. But his appointment as a commission member lasts until the end of 2026, and McDougall intends to stay on for the rest of his term despite the move to Europe.
