History
A Gwynedd Constabulary was formed in 1950 by the merger of the county forces for Caernarfonshire, Anglesey and Merionethshire. This force was itself amalgamated with the Flintshire and Denbighshire forces in the late 1960s, the combined force also being known as the Gwynedd Constabulary. Caernarfonshire, also known as Carnarvonshire or, in Welsh, as Sir Gaernarfon, is a maritime traditional county of Wales, bounded N. by the Irish Sea, E. by Denbighshire, S. by Cardigan Bay and Merionethshire, and W. by Caernarfon Bay and the Menai Straits, which separates it from Anglesey. ...

Controversy In recent years North Wales Police has attracted a great deal of media attention above and beyond its size. Many have attributed this phenomena to its current Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom. He has often courted controversy and publicity through his vocal views on speeding motorists and the legalisation of drugs. The Sun newspaper dubbed him the "Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taleban." Despite this negative publicity he has earned respect for grasping the Welsh language and conversing publicly through it. He is also credited with modernising the organisation's infrastructure in comparison with other areas of Britain. Look up sun in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
North Wales Police has also attracted attention due to its investigation into so called "Anti-Welsh" incidents attributed to the Prime MinisterTony Blair and TV personality Anne Robinson.

In 2006 the force attracted even more widespread publicity when a retired Detective Sergeant was prosecuted for alledged homophobic remarks made to a van full of officers in Wrexham.
