A North Wales Police constable resigned after a private misconduct hearing on 7 October following criminal proceedings.

A North Wales Police constable resigned after facing a private misconduct hearing on 7 October following criminal proceedings related to 'discreditable conduct'. The officer would have been dismissed had they not already resigned, North Wales Police said.

The force did not name the officer, citing an 'ongoing case' and the need to 'prevent impact upon ongoing criminal proceedings'. A Freedom of Information response revealed the constable was the fourth North Wales Police officer since 2021 to face entirely private misconduct hearings without being named publicly.

The other three officers faced hearings over 'sexual conduct', 'honesty and integrity', or 'discreditable conduct'. All would have been dismissed had they not resigned. In two cases from 2022 and 2023, the officers were named when the criminal trials concluded. In the third case, also in 2023, North Wales Police did not name the officer 'to prevent the identification of the victim'.
