Renée Vaugeois was appointed to the Edmonton Police Commission on a two-year term in December .

She was the executive director of the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights for 20 years .

She says the move escalates tensions between the City of Edmonton , Edmonton Police Service , and the civilian body that oversees it.

Experts say the move could be part of a larger strategy to have a say over its future.

Sohi: "I have never heard EPS ever question who gets appointed to commission. That recruitment process has been follwoed for decades " Vaugeois: "Critiquing systems and advocating for change are not acts of opposition; they are acts of care" The relationship between the police commission and council has deteriorated over the past year , with the two bodies engaging in disputes over issues like transparency.

Dan Jones was a homicide detective, undercover officer, foot patrol and gang unit member.

Jones says he didn't want his term to be clouded or overshadowed by the concerns for the next two years .

Vaugeois says she welcomes the opportunity for dialogue and remains committed to human rights.
