Nick Adderley: Chief constable of Northamptonshire Police found guilty of gross misconduct

The chief constable of Northamptonshire Police Nick Adderley, who was suspended for lying about his military record has been found guilty of gross misconduct.

He has been suspended on full pay since October for exaggerating his own rank and length of service and lying about his naval achievements - including implying that he served in the Falklands War - despite being 15 when the conflict broke out in 1982.

Perhaps need to sack the HR team too that hired him, for doing zero background checks !

[Gloindark]

THE HR SHOULD BE SACKED..They did not do their job

[carllockpick]

Sack, no pension, no pay off, simple as.

[darshnarach]

Surely thats fraud not just gross misconduct.

[Raazaaaaa]

Why wasn’t it flagged in the vetting? There are better checks to work at Tesco than in the Police it seems..

[Visherex]

If he did this as a fake veteran, what the F did he do as chief????

[michaelb]

He was on £176, 500 / year. No wonder Northamptonshire council has run out of money!

[stevvieb]

He has been suspended on FULL PAY since October, why does he not have to pay that back as he has now been found guilty. I want my part of that tax back

[colinfletcher]

Keep going lots of the police are criminals and not fit for purpose 😢

[swaldron]

Insulting to Falkland Islands war veterans.

[davidpimblett]

He’ll be laughing all the way to the bank with his payoff and large pension.

[freddyfender]

A copper telling lies. Who would have thought it possible ?

[lindaharrison]

Doesnt give much confidence in their criminal investigations if they can't even do background checks on employees. Full pay since October, how lovely for him

[jujutrini]

If they’re not checking Chief Constables they are not checking lower ranks.

[DylanSargesson]

How could he have gotten away with this in the first place? Surely when he told the interview panel he was a veteran they would've checked his military service record. The Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner who was in office then has serious questions to answer

[thesleeplessmn]

As a Falkland resident, and leader of the Island underground militia and armed resistance during the Argentinian invasion I find his lying despicable.

[johnmartin]

He's going to end up in the House of Commons

[stanmiggins]

This fool needs jailing, It's an insult to the veterans who fourt and died for that medal. Utterly disgusting

[carolphillips]

Why are these kind of people in these positions. WHY.

[Deedeevenice]

When the police can’t even be bothered to investigate something as simple as this, what chances are there of any idiot investigating anything? It’s a job for life for doing sod all!
