Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- A police chief has been sacked after being found guilty of gross misconduct over lying about his military record.
Nick Adderley, the chief constable of Northamptonshire Police, had been suspended on full pay since October for exaggerating his own rank and length of service and lying about his naval achievements.
The allegations included implying that he served in the Falklands War by wearing a medal - despite being 15 when the conflict broke out in 1982.

As a veteran of the Battle of Hastings, and single handedly shooting the arrow that killed King Harold, I find this disgraceful.
😂
I was at Waterloo with ABBA, and Napoleon did surrender
@@kerenskable No he didn't.
Speaking as Henry V I agree.
Well done!😂
Anyone who promoted this impostor to chief constable should also be sacked.
100%. correct. Surely there would've been background checks
@@thejobinterview9927 Should have been!
@@thejobinterview9927 palms rubbed more like i doubt this was accident .this con went on 32 year's no one noticed .just like wayne couzons all over again.these people supose to have powers of investigation and swear aoths .
Agreed, as their judgement must now be called into question.....
@@thejobinterview9927all the information was on his fake CV
How many years did it take them to suss this out? No wonder they can never find a stolen bike
😂😂
Nearly 6 years. On 6 August 2018, Adderley became Chief Constable of Northamptonshire Police.
His ex-wife reported him. She was a retired policewoman. She said she reported Mr Adderley after an old colleague of the pair sent her a picture of him wearing the General Service Medal (Northern Ireland) - awarded for service during The Troubles - and the South Atlantic Medal and was sickened.
At the time of the ten-week Falklands conflict, she knew her ex-husband was just 15, and a sea cadet.
The Crown Prosecution Service is considering a file of evidence which could lead to charges of misconduct in a public office and fraud by false representation - both of which can carry jail terms.
@@FontaineDerby oh wow!. That's nuts
@@Paws4Thought669 Nearly 6 years, he got away with it. Vetting of police for jobs is not great.
He was 15 during the Falklands War, but he was in the Sea Cadets at the time. 🤣🤣🤣
@@FontaineDerbylmao, the ex with a vengeance
I served her majesty the late Queen faithfully for 30 years as a police officer, retiring just over 10 years ago. I spent all of my 30 years as a constable not wanting to rise up the ranks but instead to serve the public by being on the street. It saddens me to see how this guy has lied to get to the top job when others were happy to serve on the streets. It’s only right that he has been sacked and I feel he should face the charges that were mentioned in this video. He has brought disgrace upon the police service and should be held accountable to demonstrate to the public that no one is above the law.
He is a member of the civilian service and has brought disgrace upon the armed services.
Should find a job with the Post Office.
Well given the Post Office inquiry does now seem to be heading towards a full criminal trial, there may well be several vacancies in the future for more bullshitters and fantasists there.....
🤣
Post Master General, comes with the Croix de Guerre and bar.
Plenty of pothole in Northants he could be filling while he mulls over his next con
He could get a job with sky news if he’s a good liar
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or any of our political parties.
And the BBC
Or the BBC 🤔
i'm sure Rupert Murdoch has him pencilled in for the next editor of one of his rags.
But he'll have to have a good package, because Lord Rothermere has him set to replace Ted verity at The Mail. Ted hasn't really taken up the mantle of Paul Dacre, and can't be relied upon to attack Supreme Court judges with sufficient ire for protecting the human rights of... erm... humans.
There again, I'm sure that Nigel Fararse will have a job for him in his Cabinet.
Remove his pension........
And pay back his last six years salary
I wonder how many people in influential jobs in society are this untrustworthy and dishonest? Hundreds of thousands, I suppose...
My once housemate got his way into BMW with fake certificates and drove new cars each week....plenty of them, smh
Local Council officials are the worst for it, they are literally a law unto themselves, and they know it.
The majority I'm sure.
If my experiences of British "Management" is anything to go by, pretty much every last one of them.
That's the first 2 qualifications required to get to the top Old Boy.
So he was a compulsive liar...std copper then.
Nobody checked his past Unbelievable
Monty python stuff!! The police are a bloody disgrace.. how on earth is this allowed to happen?? From cadets joining the police right up to him, why are there no stringent checks ? There must be an enquiry into this!!! Disgusting!!
He would have only lied 🤣
The whole police saga is an effin shambles from top to bottom. And as for this fraud.....
Same old story , " he slipped through the net ". And presumably joined the club ???
@@neilgriffiths3042 your not wrong 😁
This is disgusting, having served for 12 years and being Boer War veteran I find this disrespectful.
😂
😂
No, wonder the Met is institutionally racist.
Uncle albert
Thanks for your service the boar war was a terrible war nearly as bad that's the first World War, I'm in Vietnam vet myself, I was part of the Vietcong Special forces And a tunnel enginee. I dug Most of the Tunnels myself by hand that were buried under the streets of Saigon, And later converted those tunnels Into a state of the art Underground system that is second to none in the third world.
I'd like to ask If it is not too rude, what was it like fighting alongside The Magnificent Winston Churchill ?
Police Officer lies? Shocker!!! He'll never be held accountable and will receive full pension courtesy of the taxpayer.
Bit of a generalisation
@@Exciteddelirium1 Not at all, we all know these people are in a special club, with funny handshakes.
He just done it to see how far he could take it now he will write a book about exposing the police 🚔
@@WilliamYoung-in5pp
Don't put ideas in his head 😂
Glad I don’t pay tax
The audacity of wearing a Falklands War medal despite being 15 at the time is incredible, surprised not a single detective noticed
We take that serious here ... The Stolen Valor Act of 2005, signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 20, 2006 was a U.S. law that broadened the provisions of previous U.S. law addressing the unauthorized wear, manufacture, or sale of any military decorations and medals. The law made it a federal misdemeanor to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal. If convicted, defendants might have been imprisoned for up to six months, unless the decoration lied about is the Medal of Honor, in which case imprisonment could have been up to one year.
Prince Harry has claimed to be a helicopter pilot …. Where is his comeuppance?
@@adriennewalker1715 It’s long overdue but then no one wants to humiliate his father.
If he had worn the iron cross I think a lot of detectives would have missed it. ?
I am not surprised . Stupid and unprofessional fellow police officers. A 16 year old could have worked out he was a conman.
Typical, only sorry when caught, as a veteran this angers me to my core, stolen valour should be a crime in the UK.
I believe it is!
A conviction for misconduct in public office will put him in that cell he so happily displayed
That's too good for him.
We all know he’s not going to receive a prison sentence
Go to Jail. Move directly to Jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect your pension.
Such a convincing liar should be a politician then he could lie all the time without fear of prosecution just like the rest of them.
Or a member of the Royal Family.
An absolute conman
small lies convince the few, Big lies convince the many for a long time.
@@PtolemyCeasar Oh, so that's why. 🤯
things is any servicemen would of realised his grift just talking to him.his wife new she was a copper let it run 32 year's how many others new .
@@andydudley1775 It's a puzzler innit mate.
@@andydudley1775 Spot on. This was a conspiracy involving many people, who will keep very quiet and out of the limelight so as not to be caught.
SIA conducts stricter background checks for security guards
The background checks they did on me just so I could volunteer in James Cook Hospital was unbelievable! I obviously passed them but it took weeks
@@loudrah326 it to prevent decient people taking position made for people like him.
No they dont!
I needed a DBS check to wash pots in a care home!
25 years serving Queen and country I find this man a disgrace and disrespectful of my service.
Can he share a cell with Rowley for crimes against the BRITISH
who is rowley? by any chance the woman who sticks up for hetero women in UK?
Find a copper that isn't corrupt
So he still got to be a police chief constable. Says a lot for the rozzers…..
The chief of the police Is James Cleverlly
And beneath that to LocaL CounsciLLs accross Brittain
Meanwhile , Andy Street , and people with such type of faces , head , the Mi 5 , counter espionages , counter terror efforts accross Brittain 🇬🇧 and beyond
Just look at Khans Met police force, his own personal puppets. Their motto should be "corrupt and untouchable"
He was obviously a very capable and effective officer to have risen to such a senior position. Whilst his lies probably helped him in obtaining promotion to the highest level, they will not have been the only factor. Ironically he may have achieved just as much if he had told the truth.
No doubt he will now have plenty of time to reflect on his foolishness.
A total disgrace. Prison and all of his wealth removed.
Wealth removed? Really?!
He must have done things to earn his various promotions, and therefore earned his salary and pension. It would be unjust to take away his pension, and I suspect it would not be legal.
I believe he should be considered for prosecution.
@@asim9738 Yes it is called the proceeds of crime act ''Misconduct in a Public Office'' is a crime!
He obtained his job by deception. So the money would be subject to Proceeds of Crime.
@@plipogamez3173I agree with your comment, but what could he be charged with?
There are many, many, many more in the police service at all levels who need investigating and bringing to justice. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Make no mistake about that.
Okay Jon Snow
Disgusting!!!
I read your comment with the voice of Kenneth Williams in my head.
Who put him in charge? What are the police in Britain there for if they can’t even check their own staff? I have never been so disillusioned with those who are there to serve and protect us. They need to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
As a former King of England, I find this disgusting! A cop who lies? Wow! Who'd have thought!
What a Tosser !
Spoiler
worse than that,he did this to gain a higher salary - fraudster would be more appropriate
@@bigoldgrizzly No .
@@bigoldgrizzly it Is obvious he did not act alone
@@bigoldgrizzly it Is clear he Is a Part of some , closed , cercle , sekte , or so
And nobody checked his credentials ! Basic scrutiny of his application wasn’t done, whoever was responsible should be disciplined.
Presumably, he’s committed a criminal offence of fraud and obtained financial advantage over the years; this money should be returned, he’s likely valid for criminal proceedings, and his pension should NOT be at Chief Constable level.
He will be looked after by the establishment to avoid as much embarrassment to them as possible.
Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 applies on conviction for fraud. Is he going to be charged by the CPS ?
As a public service employee it's very likely he will forfeit his pension.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 IIRC He'll only forfeit pensioon rights if he is prosecuted. Even having been sacked, because he has served the necessary time to qualify for his Police Pension, eh'll still get it unless he is prosecuted and found guilty.
I have my doubts that they'll prosecute. They'll probably "Look into it" until the fuss has died down and then quietly drop the investigation. It's how these things work.
@@Jojobber yeah we might start asking too many questions of them.
BoJo made lying acceptable, no wonder, people think that it is ok to do that.
Stolen valour is a grand fail.
Stolen valour is no valour at all.
Hang on - isn’t it the position of Police Commissioner, to appoint the Chef Constable?
Secondly, this individual, needs prosecuting for fraud.
They dont really appoint the Chief, more scrutinise them.
Half of the police force are looking at charges for one thing or another.
@@Jojobber Doesn’t surprise me.
and the people that gave him the job and his wife too.she new for 32 years enjoyed the benefits of being his wife .untill the devorce and she an x copper .she should not be let off light too.i bet she thinks she a hero now in her little world being a copper and all.
@@andydudley1775 She should arrested too, as she aided and a bettered him.
Jail time and no pension.
It's concerning to see differential treatment in people in positions of power. For instance, if someone is sacked for lying, yet a judge who lies while managing a hearing remains in position, it appears inconsistent and unfair. How can one justify such disparate consequences for similar misconduct? It raises questions about accountability and equality in the enforcement of rules.
100% correct.
imagine how many time this person been blackmailed over 32 year's to be used as a tool by dodgy people in power .this is how it's done .this is how we come to be in this position .how many servicemens lives did this man destroy to keep his secret .just after talking to him for 5 minutes .
UK policing at its best. This idiot ran an entire Force. Good job Home Office in recruiting the best people for our public services. 10-1 odds he'll be standing as a Parliamentary Candidate in 2029. Any takers?🐥
Why tory when they all as bad as ine another, do not fall for the kept wing right wing nonsense, they all do as they are told. They all the same
Goodbye Pension welcome taxpayers.
Goodbye Pension ? If only.
Nah he will not lose his pension
Dig deeper, there will definitely be more charlatans.
Another complete & utter waste of space. No pension, no severance pay, nothing! Just time in prison is what he should get. And the same for anyone involved in his promotion.
Things started to look suspicious when he started to wear a blue Peter badge 🤣🤣🤣
Probably got a Jimmy fix it badge as well chief procurer
Disgrace as a veteran myself of the first gulf war I was deep behind the lines looking for scuds . My cubs uniform got really dirty my mum had to wash it several times .
...😏😂
Why weren’t his credentials checked? Surely a position of this magnitude warranted the appropriate checks. Shame on those that elected him in my opinion, for failing due diligence!!
They should be prosecuted for negligence.
It's not an elected position.
@@davidjones3712 ok! Those who gave him the job!!
@@paulineross-if1fz I would imagine he had the right attitude - by promising to not catch real criminals but to make he would catch those who think the wrong thoughts and protect the people of one religion above all others.
@@davidjones3712 .... If it came down to a vote by those who chose him for that position, elected would be the correct term. He did not get the job due to any other reason than he was given a commission to hold that position, hence the word Commissioner.
I would be very interested to have been a fly on the wall when he was interviewed for all the ranks and jobs he had in the police and see what he claimed to have done in the police, that was all probably lies.
He probably ticked all of the thought police boxes. They would not want someone in charge tha tpromised to catch real criminals
A lying copper. Truly shocking! 😱😱
Quelle Surprise ! 🇬🇧🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow. How the hell did he think he would get away with it???!!!
He did, for years and years.
He did for 32 years. And had he retired last year, he would have done.
@@david1731048 All the news reports say that he was sacked.
He did get away with it for years.
Stolen valour......by the senior police chief.......unbelievable.
He can identify as whatever he wants. It’s illegal to say otherwise… isn’t it?🤣🤣🤣🤣
A Walter Mitty character. No wonder crimes are hardly solved.
How silly of him to display a medal that made him 15 at the time ! What ???
The whole or our royal family wear medals that they have not earned or have any rights to wear.
How about Stolen Valour? He should be charged with that but it's not a chargeable offense in the UK.
A lying corrupt copper, I thought they got promoted
Suspended on full pay does not equal sacked... wtf.
Also imagine if they were this hard on politicians that lie... maybe one day
Wrongun
10yr bang up at best 🤣
A copper lies shock horror
Probably a Common Purpose Graduate.
Does that comment relate to your photo thumbnail ?
Claims like these in other countries is a criminal offense and are charged for their acts of Stolen Valour
He'll be put on the IOPC panel with fall pay a expect
All those retired sailors, soldiers and airmen with medals that never see the light of day, hidimg away in dusty old drawers and then this. What a piece of total garbage.
But Alfie Moon cons Peggy Mitchell into becoming the new landlord at the Queen Vic and everybody thinks he's great !
Seems to have a good record and is well liked by the rank and file police and he gets the sack. But Mark Rowley's record, at the Met , stinks, the officers on the beat can't stand his policies and we can't get rid of him for love nor money !
I am 47... I am the last D Day soldier...I am a human... I am great! I can be an amazing cop... My only weak point... it's... The mathematics
Arithmethics
Geometry , based on Euclide
Now if only we could hold our government to the same standards 😒
He’s been a policeman since 1992. In order to get promotion to Chief Constable he would’ve had to go through numerous vetting procedures, interviews and promotions. And not ONE person bothered to quiz his past? I’m sorry, I simply don’t believe that’s possible.
Must have been a prize bullish…
What a strange thing to do. Wonder where he got the medals, ebay?
Off lee Aderson 🤣
I think they were a relatives I think th3y were his brothers but I may be wrong?
@@neiltitmus9744lee Anderson sounds better 😂
No the Royal family
Wow a policeman lying….who’d have thought it. 😏
security risk,
Every officer who was ever subjected, rightly or wrongly, to a disciplinary under this man's authority should appeal against it.
This is the problem when they have direct entrants, and I am surprised he hasn't been charged with misconduct in public office. It is a criminal offence and in some circumstances more serious than theft
They will cover it over as much as possible to hide their own embarrassment.
He was not a direct entry....
On 6 August 2018, Adderley became Chief Constable of Northamptonshire Police.
How can u slip through the net when there ain’t one
In the USA, military records are available under freedom of information and aren't classified. Maybe they should do that here.
Should take his enormous pension off him too.
Did nobody check this guy's claims when he applied for the job??
Clearly not diligently enough......
This is the quality of our detectives.
Many people exaggerate and embellish their achievements and importance, for a variety of reasons, he went OTT with blatant lies which ultimately led to his downfall in a spectacular fashion.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 I meant: the guy was a policeman for twenty five years; surrounded by the people who are supposed to be able to detect crimes. He told them all a cokamammy story, wore spurious medals. Perhaps the police force aren't as smart as they ought to be.
He's NOT a detective -- he's a very naughty boy.!
Surely, the date of birth on his CV alone should have been something of a clue?
Unless of course he lied about that as well......
So…….they don’t do background checks on potential Chief Constables? I’ve always thought there was a very blurred line between police and criminals.
How many people has he lied to.put innocent people in prison?
Just think if he had been in one of the protected groups he would never have been ousted.
Obviously, his promotion panel weren't very good at basic maths.
He should be charged with obtaining money ( wages) under false pretenses.
This is actually a crime, called Gaining Pecuniary Advantage.
Indeed. His entitlement to his pension must surely now be called into question, given he lied in order to achieve his rank/position..... Where I come from, that's deception and fraud.......
@@Brian-om2hh It certainly is...but don't hold your breath.
He should be in prison for fraud!
He was the cop who cried on interview talking about the poor 2 cop women Dale Cregan killed. Loves a chance to be an actor
Holy crap im literally shocked, this policeman was in a documentary about Dale Cregan and wouldnt have thought for 1 second he was dishonest in anyway.
"Bring back capital punishment" I hear so many people cry. But how can we when we have people like this in the police force?
The fact that he was a Chief Constable makes it even more poignant.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. A lot of these police officers, once retired, go on to work for the CCRC, so there are many wrongly convicted people in prison relying on ex officers, some of whom may have played a part in the original convictions, deciding wether or not they get a case review, so there's a massive conflict of interest. The entire system is corrupt to the core. They have the power to keep an innocent person locked up for a lifetime.
He'll make a great politician....
He changed his Falklands medal for his GSM
My SAS colleagues and I are disappointed.
🤣
What was his GSM for - other will know what I am talking about !!
i was thinking the same
Should have sent him to prison lying to get a job
He could put on his CV that he was Manager of the Post Office Mailbag Supply Division at Parkhurst.
Proper Walt
Does this also now mean that all of his convictions should now be thrown into doubt? All the case dismissed?
Just shows how low this counrty has sunk >
He ordered his officers to search people for buying non essential products during the c v 1 9 lockdown even though no law exists to allow police officers to do this
he should lose his taxpayer funded pension as well.
He should paid back the salary he got.
I am sorry but who didn't do their due diligence with regards hos employment history? Unbelievable!
Usual suspect!! 😮
isn’t this the same police force that PC Unsworth is part of, the officer who posted on Twitter recently laughing + boasting about busting someone’s door who they thought were “in the country illegally?”
He obviously thought he would get away with it.. Years of Policing installed this confidence..
What an absolute disgrace to all those who fought probably the most bloodiest viloent battle ever by the British Armed forces in the Falklands..
He should have joined the council or NHS and never been caught out!
