A THAMES Valley Police officer has been accused of sharing confidential information for no good reason.

PC Adam North will face the head of the police, chief constable John Campbell, at a misconduct hearing next week.

It is alleged that the PC told two people ‘sensitive information’ without a ‘policing purpose’ between December 28, 2019 and April 25, 2020.

The force say the accusations are so serious that if he is found guilty, he would have committed gross misconduct and could be banned from ever applying for a job in the police again.

PC North, who was previously stationed at Newbury, resigned on September 30.

On Wednesday it will be decided if he breached the ‘Standards of Professional Behaviour’ expected of him as a police officer.

The meeting, which is open to members of the public, will be held on Microsoft Teams between 1pm and 3pm.
