The former finance director of the Abbotsford Police Department has received a conditional two-year jail sentence after defrauding it of approximately $312,000.
Judge Andrea Brownstone heard how Mickens had developed a serious gambling addiction, as a result of alleged physical and mental abuse in her marriage and the death of her mother. Subsequent to being caught, Mickens, 64, lost both her legs due to complications from diabetes and has been in and out of the hospital.
A chartered professional accountant, Mickens was the department’s finance director for 16 years prior to her retirement in June 2016, the court heard. “As finance director, she held a position of trust …and had access to cash …and abilities to make entries into electronic software,” said Fillingham. Eventually, the administrator went to the chief, stating the vouchers always stopped when Mickens was out of the office. Shortly after, Mickens announced her retirement June 30, 2016 and the department launched an internal audit and approached Surrey RCMP to investigate.
