MOOSE JAW — Police officer Taylor Mickleborough is no longer with the Moose Jaw Police Service after the agency quietly fired the superintendent sometime recently.

MooseJawToday.com has learned that the police service relieved the 24-year member of duty possibly within the past couple of months, but neither he nor the agency is saying anything about the situation.

Mickleborough is known to have begun his policing career in the year 2000. He had worked in traffic enforcement, criminal investigations and the serious crimes unit and won several awards during his nearly three decades in uniform.

MooseJawToday.com contacted the Moose Jaw Police Service about this matter and received a short statement.

“All I can confirm is that Taylor Mickleborough is no longer a member of the Moose Jaw Police Service and that is all we wish to say at this time,” said Jay-D Haughton, the agency’s communications manager.

When asked whether the MJPS had initiated legal proceedings against the former superintendent, Haughton replied, “At this time, I can’t comment on that.”

The policing agency did not offer any extra details about Mickleborough’s firing, nor did it specify whether he had violated any sections of the Saskatchewan Police Act.

Meanwhile, neither the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police nor the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers was willing to say anything about the matter and referred all comments to the MJPS.

MooseJawToday.com contacted Mickleborough several times but was unable to reach him for comment.
