This thread, like many here and elsewhere, would soon fade to nothing if it wasn't for a bit of thread drift to keep it alive. Where do you keep yours?

And it rankles that he is suspended on full pay while this is investigated, surely the details could have been checked in days not months, and a decision reached as to his future.
That will buy a few ribbons…
A Chief Constable's starting salary is £146,469 per annum. The salary increases in line with national police pay settlements. All Chief Constable's salaries are set nationally and are dependent on the size of the force.

Such grandeur! I got mine in the gents at the NI Det (NOT where I earned it!!) from my Flt Cdr who was standing in the next porcelain.
"Hey Teeters" he said, searching in his pockets (!!!)
"Yes Boss"
"I've got a f****in' medal for you"; hands it over.
"Thanks Boss"......
I've never worn my GSM/NI; I certainly remember being presented with it by AVM Austin who knew enough to kindly say I'd definitely earned it,

Mine was handed to me in the corridor by the section clerk who was bringing the mail.

That's a bit off topic and unnecessary. Free speech is all very well, but you need to justify what you say. No, I'm not going to buy the book

Chief Constable Nick Adderley Update - Northamptonshire Police & Fire Commissioner (northantspfcc.org.uk)
Northamptonshire Police Chief Constable Nick Adderley is to face an accelerated disciplinary hearing into allegations of gross misconduct.
Allegations against Mr Adderley were made to the Office of Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner in July 2023. In line with the statutory guidance, the allegations were referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
The IOPC is carrying out an investigation and in a report has assessed, based on the evidence gathered to date, that there is a case to answer for gross misconduct.
Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold has now accepted this passes the tests for an accelerated disciplinary hearing. A hearing will now be convened at the earliest opportunity.
The hearing will be carried out by an independent panel that will consist of a Legally Qualified Chair (LQC), a representative of His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary and an independent panel member.
The date, time and arrangements for the hearing will be announced later.
Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold said: “I am grateful to the Independent Office for Police Conduct for the work it has carried out to date into the allegations against Chief Constable Nick Adderley. I am now convening an independent panel to consider the allegations.”
Mr Adderley is suspended from Northamptonshire Police and Acting Chief Constable Ivan Balhatchet continues to lead the Force at this time.

Why do you think he should lose his pension?
Should everyone who does a naughty thing at work lose their pension?
Should everyone who does a naughty thing at work lose their pension?
It's not a blanket argument that everybody who is naughty at work should lose their pension, even as a result of an ops clerk encounter, but my 2 cents is that in some circumstances it does appear a reasonably equitable punishment
As it appears from the information, in previous parts of this thread, that he may have obtained his post in the Constabulary through a somewhat embellished C.V. it seems a fair point that had he not embellished his life, he would not have been entitled to access the pension scheme in the first place, at which point there then appears another argument that the accumulation of said pension from the local taxpayer was carried out fraudulently.
Even if there was it's an interesting hypothesis. Presumably you'd also count salary as part of the hypothetical dishonesty. In which case that should be paid back too? And the taxpayer would have obtained 30 years free service.
If we do go down this route where do we stop? Was I perhaps not quite "bar staff" at the student union, but instead merely "glass collector", and should therefore lose my entire career pay and pension for the last 50 years?
Generally speaking if you've done the job you're hired for then you're entitled to be paid for it.

He also said that “When I became aware of this complaint, which has had a private family impact upon me personally, I immediately took advice regarding the protocol and have changed the side of my chest on which these medals are worn.”. So, why is he also wearing ribbons on his chest? Utter disgrace…
In fact, it looks even worse when you look on Google. It seems he awarded himself the South Atlantic medal prior to being a Super Intendant and then the General Service Medal sometime after…

Unless there is much deeper rooted corruption in Northants Pol and the Home Office he obtained his position through relevant experience, having passed a Special Branch background check into his past, through having passed the relevant exams and through having passed the assessment boards. There doesn't seem to be any allegation of deception in any of those.

There is a statutory definition of when a constable should lose their pension. It's a high bar, but a lower bar than almost every other profession (in most professions it is "never").
