Mel Jones, chair of the North Wales NARPO Liaison Committee, said: "The evening promises to be enjoyable with something for everyone and hope as many people as possible will be able to join us.

The event will be attended by Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman.

She said: "Policing has occurred in North Wales for over 160 years but North Wales Police as we now know it was officially formed on April 1, 1974.

"We have marked this special year with a range of activities including the recent open day which was a huge success.

"We are extremely grateful to the three branches of NARPO who have kindly arranged this special concert to mark the anniversary, and we very much look forward to the evening."

The Police Remembrance Trust operates throughout the UK under a Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2018.

The charity exists to make sure all those police officers who lost their lives on and in the line of duty are never forgotten.

Tickets can be purchased via the theatre.
