But on Tuesday, police said he’s been dismissed from duty.

“I can confirm that Taylor Mickleborough is no longer a member of the Moose Jaw Police Service and I can’t provide any further comment at this time,” said Jay-D Houghton with Moose Jaw police communications.

The details around his dismissal remain few, as the police were tight-lipped about what happened and what’s next.

“It’s possible that there are legal proceedings, but I can’t confirm that without doing some additional research on that,” Houghton said.

To find out what happens when an officer is dismissed, Global News reached out to the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers but was unable to secure a comment.

Moose Jaw police did not offer any additional details about Mickleborough’s firing, nor did they specify whether he had violated any sections of the Saskatchewan Police Act.
