He says it's clear his place of residency would be an ``unwelcome distraction'' from the commission's work.
The head of the Edmonton Police Commission says he'sstepping down days after announcing he'd finish out his term while living abroad. John McDougall says he decided to resign as a member of the commission after ``much reflection'' over the past few days.
He says it's clear his place of residency would be an ``unwelcome distraction'' from the commission's work. McDougall said Friday he planned to retire to Portugal in 2025 when his time as chair ends, but that he would remain a commissioner until 2026.
He had said there are no residency requirements for commissioners and that his ties to the city don't disappear when he steps onto an airplane.
