Northamptonshire Police Chief Sacked for Gross Misconduct

Nick Adderley dismissed after being found guilty of lying about military service and achievements.

Adderley exaggerated his naval rank and length of service, falsely claiming participation in the Falklands War.
A misconduct panel found his claims about his own and his brother’s military records to be fabrications.
Adderley had been suspended since October and was dismissed without notice following a five-day hearing.
The panel described his deceit as 'staggering' and 'arrogant,' involving lies over many years.
Adderley has been placed on the police barred list, ending his career in law enforcement.
