The Abbotsford Police Department says one of its own has been handed a conditional sentence for breach of trust. Christopher Nicholson pleaded guilty to a single count of breach of trust in Sept. 2017, the department said in a release. On Friday, it said, he was sentenced to a 17-month conditional sentence for that offence. Nicholson was charged with multiple counts of breach of trust, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to traffic drugs in May 2013 following an eight-month undercover investigation by Vancouver police. Abbotsford Police Department Chief Constable Bob Rich called the matter a difficult and lengthy process for his department.
