North Wales PC Found Guilty of Gross Misconduct Over Off-Duty Groping at Rugby Club

The panel ruled her behaviour breached professional standards, opening the door to dismissal.

Overview

  • A misconduct panel found PC Pamela Pritchard guilty of gross misconduct for unwanted contact with two colleagues and an attempted kiss on an inspector during a March 2024 leaving party in Caernarfon.
  • Assistant Chief Constable Chris Allsop said the conduct could justify dismissal, with the sanction decision pending.
  • Evidence included CCTV of Pritchard twerking and testimony that she twice grabbed a male officer’s genitals, squeezed a female colleague’s breasts, told an officer “I want to f*** you,” and used insulting language.
  • Pritchard apologised, said she remembered little of the night, denied intentional sexual contact, and maintained any contact was accidental or consensual.
  • She had previously been cleared of criminal wrongdoing, and her lawyer urged the panel to issue a lengthy final written warning instead of dismissal.
