Postmedia has learned from multiple sources that McFee has told the Edmonton Police Commission of his intention to leave the job in February, after six years in the post.

He was initially hired to the role in February 2019. His current contract was set to expire in 2026.

Shortly after Postmedia’s story was published, the commission put out a news release confirming McFee’s departure on Feb. 21.

    The commission will establish a process “in the coming months” to hire the next Edmonton police chief, the release said.

    It did not specify who will take over as interim chief once McFee has departed.

    This seems odd. Isn’t there usually detailed succession planning for roles like this?
