A female police officer who groped two colleagues at a drunken party has been sacked.

PC Pamela Pritchard, 29, thrust her hand into a male colleague's groin twice and later sat on his knee and kissed him, after drinking at a leaving do at Caernarfon Rugby Club, Gwynedd, in March 2024.

The North Wales Police officer also grabbed a female colleague's breasts after "twerking" on the dance floor, and later tried to kiss a senior colleague.

The panel at a misconduct hearing in Colwyn Bay, Conwy, found all the allegations against her were proven and that she had breached the force's standards of behaviour.

Do we know how the male police were dress ? I’m pretty sure they were dress provocatively. Did they think at how they will destroy the career of this female peace officer ? They’re selfish!

Ah but you see, making a cop uncomfortable is one of the very most illegal things.

They were probably dressed like strippers

Okay so cops can get sacked for sexual harassment but only if the victim is another cop I guess

And the perpetrator is a woman

[-] SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world 22 points 3 days ago

Unless the victim is a female cop because then they're asking for it.

The first A in ACAB doesn't stand for "American"

Edit: have a source

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

True, but I was under the impression that the comments about behavior were US related. Are British cops known to also act in that way?

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

I'm not sure if you understood his point about the first A in ACAB.

If you can’t party at a work party then don’t call it a party

"Sacked" means fired in this case, right? Only asking because it seems like it could easily mean something else given the details.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah, she was let go.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago

drinking at a leaving do

Us Americans should adopt this terminology.

You Americans can do whatever you want. 😉

THIS is what cops get punished for?

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Only if they're female. If a male cop did it he'd get promoted

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

who made the complaint? is the head cheif who fired her a woman? was the guy who was harassed gay?

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Not every straight man is as desperate as you, so being a straight man shouldn’t be an automatic assumption of consent.
