The senior constable is from an unspecified command in NSW Police's Northern Region, which stretches from the Central Coast into northern NSW and encompasses the Hunter.
Police said in a statement on Wednesday that an investigation began in January into the senior constable's conduct after a report that an officer had allegedly "failed to appropriately investigate a reported domestic violence incident".
Following inquiries, the officer was issued a Future Court Attendance notice on Tuesday and was charged with neglect of duty.
The officer, who has been suspended with pay, will face Newcastle Local Court on September 3.
