"We have decided to prosecute former Northamptonshire Police Chief Constable Nick Adderley with offences of fraud and misconduct in public office. This follows an Independent Office for Police Conduct investigation into claims made by Mr Adderley in reference to his military service and educational attainments. Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings."
"The IOPC said the 59-year-old is alleged to have falsely claimed he was a former Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy and had served in the Falklands War. The police watchdog said he is also accused of claiming he was entitled to wear associated service medals. Adderley is alleged to have committed the offences between 2018 and 2024 allegedly making the claims on his CV during his bid to become Northamptonshire Police's chief constable in June 2018."
