A top police officer has been sacked for gross misconduct after lying about his naval rank, length of service, and achievements in his application to become chief constable.
Nick Adderley, the now-dismissed chief constable of Northamptonshire Police, "built a military naval legend that wasn’t true," a misconduct hearing was told. He even implied he had served in the Falklands War, despite being only 15 when the conflict occurred in 1982.
The panel, chaired by Callum Cowx - a former member of the Royal Navy, the Army, and the police - found all allegations against Adderley proven. They described his behavior as "staggeringly audacious" and said he had lied for years with "arrogant temerity."
During the hearing in Northampton, it was revealed that Adderley wore a South Atlantic Medal, awarded for service in the Falklands conflict, which was found to be "110 per cent" fake by a Ministry of Defence medal expert.
