Twerking Officer Found Guilty of Misconduct After Drunkenly Groping Colleagues and Attempting to Kiss Inspector

A COP who drunkenly groped colleagues and tried to kiss her inspector has been found guilty of misconduct.

PC Pamela Pritchard, 29, twice touched a male officer’s groin and touched a woman colleague’s breasts on the night out last year.

She also tried to kiss a male inspector – causing him to “pull away” – and called a fellow officer a “p***y” after telling him: “I want to f**k you”.

PC Pritchard is now facing the sack from North Wales Police after she was found to have breached the force’s standards of professional behaviour relating to authority, respect and courtesy.

North Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Chris Allsop said: “The panel find the conduct is of a level that could justify dismissal and is therefore at the level of gross misconduct.”

Fiona Clancy, for PC Pritchard, asked that she be punished with a final written warning “of a significant length of time” rather than be sacked.

She said: “There is no risk of repetition of the misconduct again. This was a short lived episode.”

The tribunal heard PC Pritchard was quizzed under caution following the night out in March 2024 but was cleared of committing any .

The drunken antics took place at Caernarfon Rugby Club in North Wales.

One of the officers, named as PC B, was groped “out of the blue” while waiting to get a drink at the bar.

He said: “PC Pritchard grabbed me below the belt and put her hand on my genitals outside my clothing.

“To no extent was it appropriate – I felt kind of humiliated at that point.”

PC B also told the misconduct hearing PC Pritchard groped him again when he was outside in a smoking area.

The officer claimed later in the evening, PC Pritchard sat on his knee, put her hand around his neck and kissed him on the lips.

He told the panel her behaviour was “becoming more and more unacceptable”.

PC B added: “I never gave her any permission to do that. I was in a relationship at the time.

“She behaved as if she had carte blanche to do what she wanted.”

The panel also heard from a female officer, PC A, who claimed she was groped by her colleague.

PC A said: “PC Pritchard came up from behind me, put both her arms around my neck, then put them under my armpits and grabbed my breasts and squeezed them.”

PC Pritchard later said she was “mortified” at being told about her drunken antics, which included “twerking” on the dancefloor.

She also shouted out “I’m the biggest lesbian here and I’ll fight any man” during the bash.

But PC Pritchard denied breaching standards of professional behaviour and also denies gross misconduct at the bash in March 2024.

She apologised to PC Jarvis and Inspector Gareth Parry for trying to kiss him – but said she had “no recollection” of the events.

The mum-of-one also told how she was left “suicidal” at the accusations she was a “sexual predator” after colleagues made complaints and she was suspended.

She broke down as she fought to keep her job, telling the : “I am really sorry. I am so sorry.”

The former worker and guard said she joined North Wales Police in 2023 as it was her “dream job” to become an officer.

But she was suspended whilst still in her probationary period following the actions just nine months after joining the force.

PC Pritchard insisted none of the alleged gropes were sexual and would have been accidental contact at most.

She said CCTV showed a “consensual” kiss with a male named only as PC B and that she was “clearly very intoxicated” when she tried to kiss an inspector.

She said: “My behaviour that evening was inappropriate I’ve never acted like that before. I’m absolutely mortified at the allegations.

“The statements and the CCTV that I have seen and heard, that’s not who I am. I am not that person – I don’t recognise myself on that CCTV.

“I would never mean to offend anyone. I am not that kind of person I am a good person.”

PC Pritchard also wept as she told the panel she has “let down the police force, myself, my friends and family and most of all I’ve let down my little girl”.

She added: “Please don’t think I’ve gone away and I haven’t thought about this from the moment I woke up to the moment I go to sleep.”

PC Pritchard denied breaching standards of professional behaviour and also denied gross misconduct but the case against her was found proved on the balance of probabilities.
