Northamptonshire police chief suspended over Falklands war medal complaint
A chief constable has been placed under criminal investigation and suspended over claims that he wore a military medal from the Falklands campaign despite not having fought in it.
Nick Adderley, the chief constable of Northamptonshire police, is under investigation by the
Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which will examine whether the offences of misconduct in public office and fraud by false representation may have been committed.…..
An IOPC spokesperson said: “The Independent Office for Police Conduct is criminally investigating the chief constable of
Northamptonshire over allegations that he has potentially misrepresented his military service, both in public and in communications with the police, fire and crime commissioner.
“We have advised the chief constable in a criminal letter that we are examining possible offences of misconduct in public office and fraud by false representation.
“After reviewing information gathered so far as part of our investigation, we have also served a gross misconduct notice on the chief constable for potential breaches of police professional standards relating to honesty and integrity, orders and instructions and conduct.”…..
