Regina Police Service earlier said it began investigating the 22-year veteran in 2023 after a member of the public brought forward concerns.
At that time, Semenchuk was suspended with pay and his access to internal police databases was restricted.
Speaking in March, then-police chief Farooq Sheikh alleged Semenchuk was using data for personal gains.
The judge in the case ordered a pre-sentencing report, and a court date was set for Jan. 23, 2026.
The Crown lawyer told court as many as 20 victim impact statements are expected during sentencing.
The Regina Police Service said Semenchuk’s resignation took effect on April 21. The police force said it won’t comment further until the court case has wrapped up.
