Police officer quits after lea

A police officer has been forced to quit following an inquiry into claims that he leaked information from his force’s computer system.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) managed an investigation by North Wales Police into one of its own officers accused of accessing “intelligence” relating to an on-going operation and passing it on to a third party.

The 35-year-old detective constable, who has not been named, was arrested earlier this year and the IPCC was asked to manage the investigation.

The Crown Prosecution Service has since decided not to pursue the matter. However, it was referred to a police misconduct panel which today compelled the officer to resign.

The nature of the information accessed by the officer has not been revealed but the IPCC said the police operation was ultimately unaffected by the leak.

A spokesman said: “The IPCC managed investigation into alleged misuse of the North Wales Police computer system, and subsequent release of information, has led to the officer being required to resign by the force.

“The 35-year-old male detective constable accessed the police computer system and informed an acquaintance about the intelligence he had accessed.

“The information related to an operation but the leak did not affect the outcome.

“The officer was arrested and suspended from duty while the investigation was carried out.

“The Crown Prosecution Service decided not to prosecute and the matter was dealt with under the Police Misconduct Regulations.

“A misconduct panel met and has required the officer to resign.”

A spokeswoman for North Wales Police declined to comment.
