“This Story DISGUSTS Me” | Police Officer Sacked For Lying About Military Credentials

- A top police officer has been sacked for gross misconduct after lying about his naval rank, length of service, and achievements in his application to become chief constable.
Nick Adderley, the now-dismissed chief constable of Northamptonshire Police, "built a military naval legend that wasn’t true," a misconduct hearing was told. He even implied he had served in the Falklands War, despite being only 15 when the conflict occurred in 1982.
The panel, chaired by Callum Cowx - a former member of the Royal Navy, the Army, and the police - found all allegations against Adderley proven. They described his behavior as "staggeringly audacious" and said he had lied for years with "arrogant temerity."
During the hearing in Northampton, it was revealed that Adderley wore a South Atlantic Medal, awarded for service in the Falklands conflict, which was found to be "110 per cent" fake by a Ministry of Defence medal expert.
Ian Collins speaks to political commentator Robert Taylor.

Sack, no pay off, no pension. Simple as.
That should be the case, but the police & the establishment have a real knack of looking after their own.
@@01matthewc Yep more than we know.
Yeah l was about to comment that no doubt he will get a full pension
It is almost impossible to remove the pension of a sacked cop, regardless of the reason. The Police Union is one of the few that still has real teeth and don't forget his Employment Contract is from when he first joined. His final salary has been quoted as £176k and he has put in the years to retire on 2/3 so he will have a comfortable retirement.
He disciplined my colleague....who was innocent...this Chief deserves being given the boot.
He should lose his pension and all benefits gained through him LYING ON HIM GETTING A JOB IN THE POLICE!
Absolutely, take his pension off the liar. Hasn’t he been vetted before, no wonder this country is screwed.
A fake Copper Cant have a fake Pension !
@@collier8931 this one definatly got the trian to stanley.
@@andydudley1775 Droll, Andy, very droll
Don't these absolute plonkers check these details, why was his military record not checked, that would have been my first priority.
Absolutely unbelievable.
This was my first thought. More stringent checks would be made in any junior role in a private firm. Usually. Unbelievable
@@johntovey7356 totally agree John
Agreed!
Unbelievable, senior position in the police and no background check !
@@ianashton1593 i couldn't agree more
This story about the Walter Mitty cop is disgusting. He needs to be dismissed and NOT Suspended on full pay.
He has been dismissed … hence the title “Police officer SACKED …”
What about the people that have been found guilty on his evidence.
WHAT a question, indeed? 👍🏻 (The police and the judiciary are thoroughly discredited in any case?)
@@hittitecharioteer did he target servicemen he clearly has no respect for us or know us.i bet he stayed clear of real servicemen must of seen us as the enemy to his grift .how many servicemen got sacked under his grift.and how did such a unpleasant man become a chief in the police force.
@@andydudley1775 ✅
Reopen the cases
Why wasn't this discovered at the appointment for the current and previous posts. Just shows what a joke the police service is.
I agree, if he lied about being in the Falklands conflict, but was only 15 at the time, then a simple check of Current AGE - (2024-1982)
EVERY job is like this now. Experience counts for sh1t !
servicemen have ways of catching people out in simple conversation .how no one did not now and he get this far is a massive concern to police security and vetting proccess .and could be blackmialed to do what any was says who finds out like a local tory mp and such.or a rishi sunnek for example.
This is the same chief constable who during the covid lockdowns wanted his officers to be able to search shoppers' bag and trollies to make sure that only 'essential' items were being purchased.
He also wanted his officers to be able to set up road blocks around Northamptonshire to check that motorists were our for 'essential' reasons only as well.
Good riddance to bad 💩 rubbish, a truly horrible & despicable piece of work.
Yeah i remember reading about him saying that! Baffoon.
Yeah, I think his exact words were he would order his officers to set up road blocks during covid if he didn't get the compliance of the public with regards to covid rules.
For the Police chief it is a discrace but what does it say about the system that employed him for so long?
Stole valour. Every veteran knows this is a vile act.
Copper, what else did
he lie about throughout his career,opens a can of worms...... disgusting.
how many x servicemen did he put away and his cabal they destroyed x servicemens lives i know i one of them.
and yet we still have that knob rowley in power madness
A true horror of "a man". He will rest in a very hot dwelling once he leaves this world?
Pension should go
There sheer audacity of this Walt, to wear a Falklands Campaign gong on his uniform as well.
I was born in 1993 and i remember fighting along side him in the Falklands 🇫🇰 😂
😅😂😅😂 I seen you with my own foot 😂😂😂😂
I joined a county force after serving in the RAF and the Army. I was required to present documentation detailing my military career, and I am sure that checks were made.
No doubt my previous life experience affected my application to join, but there was no pecuniary advantage. I started as - and finished as! - a constable.
What should be considered here is whether this unfortunate officer's lies made a difference. Was he a good cop or a bad one? Look at Met Commissioner Rowley, and others like him, bringing their forces into disrepute every day, and not being brought to book for their failures.
Yet…
I am just amazed he did not have i fought the Roman legions with Boudicca medal .
I know ..i was next to you ....What did the Roman's ever do for us.
Lets see if the Prosecution Service investigate him for Obtaining a Pecuniary Advantage, or will they say he's been punished enough? The latter I think.
The Police investigate crime. The Crown Prosecution Service prosecutes. The clue is in the name. The CPS is not in charge of the Police nor does it tell the Police what to investigate.
Its Fraud under the Fraud Act 2006, and so the CPS should be looking at pressing charges, and taking him to court.
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 look at his position we got more chance of you tube farming our anger and arresting us for it .and him turning up on the arrest .be care full we no doubt got coppers on over time combing through our comments for wrong think as we speak.they will want revenge and it us they take it out on.
I’m an actual army veteran, you can easily get a Validation of Service (VoS), from the army, who will corroborate your service. There’s no excuse for not running that check. Veterans hate these Walter Mitty types who attempt to steal money and services from veteran charities.
Not just veterans, normal people too hate and despise these fake veterans.
Not just veterans, normal people also hate and despise these fake veterans.
He should be tried in Military Court!!!!!!
@@Paul-vj8gr i agree colchester for him.armed gaurd at court martial the bloody lot .why he still wearing laces .
How did he get as far as chief before he was found out, who checked his CV…….
how many decades did he avoid real serciemen seeing us as the enemy to his grift. i could of found out he a con man under 3 minutes 32 seconds .people must of known.
Forget about him what about the sickos that accepted him
He may of been sacked, BUT, I guarantee he kept his pension!!! If he was an ordinary constable he would most likely of lost everything!!!
Now if you want a job with the police and you have a military history, you have to lie and say who haven't
He will keep his pension you don't loose it unless you are convicted of criminal offence I believe.
So in other words, you could say that he's got a form of early retirement.
@@01matthewc Exactly
@@alanboyd9013why do people have to be so anal about another’s grammatical phraseology? Is your life that boring you have to comment on social media about another’s mistakes? Get a life mate you’re not a teacher and he isn’t your student.
Stolen valour is something fround upon with military veterans,..... This individual should be thoroughly ashamed of himself... He's only sorry because he's been found out. No sympathy from me.
You spelt" frowned " incorrectly
So, does this mean every arrest and conviction he has to his name need investigating ? can anything he has ever said be trusted ? big can of worms here.
Police officer lies!... shocked i tell you, I'm shocked!
How did he get a senior role without them checking his military credentials. I'm a retired veteran and every job I went for ask for a copy of my military record and reports etc?
Red book!.
Obtaining benefits by false pretences. Misconduct in office. Those who gave him the commission should be charged as principal offenders.
If you make a false representation for monetary gain, which is what this man has done, then it is the criminal offence of fraud. This vile policeman should be prosecuted for fraud.
Why am i not surprised. Most of the bill are bent
He needs to be sacked immediately no pension no nothing
Never mind sacked should be jailed
How can people like this get through the selection procedure?
he shouldnt get a pension for lying on his application.
An arrogant and lying cop, who woulda thought ffs.
His PENSION should be SUSPENDED!! What ELSE has he been lying about in 32 years " service" ?
Biggest shock about this story is he actually got sacked 😂
Just sums up how corrupt the individuals are and the establishment they represent
Wait for the inevitable start of questions raised from anyone who was convicted as a result of his involvement
I had my Northern Ireland medal stolen so no doubt there’s someone else out there pretending to have served, it sickens me stories like this so if anyone finds mine I’d love to have it back.
If you've got proof it was stolen Insurance claim/Police report you can apply to the MoD for a replacement. Good luck
If the liar was prepared to lie about something as fundamentally false as claiming he was in a war that he was demonstrably far too young to have been involved in, then what else did he lie about? That’s what we actually need to be asking.
When you charge your car at home. You pay 5% vat
He was the Roman General in Gladiator.
He was Spartacus and still is .
I am going to buy the biggest diesel engined car I can find and make my own diesel.
You would've thought that this policeman would have held his hands up and apoogised. When faced with the disciplinary hearing how did he not think it was not the time to resign?
He should be stripped of his rank and reduced to Constable and then sacked. Sadly it’s not possible as Chief officer ranks are Home Office appointments. So disappointed in the way policing has gone down the plughole. Is it not time to bring back Police training centres rather than training in house which happens everywhere except the Met and PSNI. Police recruitment and selection should go back in house and not rest with Capita and other rigged money making enterprises. No integrity, no professionalism.
still not buying their rubbish , buying reforms future thou 👍
Whose rubbish are you not buying ?
Did you even watch the video ?
Who I'd paying you to post this rubbish ?
Only rich will be able to afford a car in 10 yrs.
I knew a woman who was a police officer for many years before it was discovered she had not passed her driving test. She had been regularly driving
police vehicles
Finally she was dismissed when it was discovered
This was 10 years ago. I thought things may have tightened up but apparently not
I used to run a small team collecting for the RBL every November. We had a chap in a wheelchair turn up to help, the next year he turned up with blazer and regimental tie but the following year he was in No.1 dress uniform of the SAS with major's badges of rank and a row of medals. This blew me away so I checked but they had never heard of him. I took him aside and challenged him, he said he used a fake name to protect his family! seemed a funny reason given he was wearing SAS uniform in public! I told him if I saw him again in uniform he would be reported to the police, the Northamptonshire Constabulary!
In contrast I let a single house in the NE and despite 17yrs Army service up to the rank of Captain I had to have a DBS check to rent out my own property, you would think they would have done basic checks for that job?
No wonder confidence in the police is at an all time low, how did he get so far in the police force without anyone checking his credentials?
There seems to as many criminals in the police force as there are in prison.
WC Fields said,you cant cheat an honest man!
All Walter Mitty’s should be jailed. They are a disgrace!
How on Earth did this happen? Someone cocked up somewhere! Whatever happened to safer recruiting?
What worries me is how many more is there that have lied about there career
Being a kniving liar is how you get ahead in the police, most claims in police promotion interviews are BS
How many people has he lied about and they been sent to jail.. Lost their homes.. Their familys
He needs a criminal record and sent to jail
How long was this lie about his medals go on unchecked. Its a joke
‘Schoolboy error?’ It’s called stolen valour in the US and is pretty serious.
What other lies has he told? In his early days there wasn't cameras.
When wearing medals he wore the South Atlantic Medal before the General Service Medal 1962. When wearing ribbons only he wore the GSM before the SAM. How come nobody noticed that?
His next two medals are the Golden Jubilee 2002 and the Diamond Jubilee 2012. He would have been given - not earned - these because the only criterion is five years in uniform: worthless, because a medal given to everyone is worthless! Oddly enough, he’s not wearing the Platinum Jubilee 2022 or the Coronation Medal 2023, also worthless for the same reason.
The only real medal he is wearing is the Police Long Service and Good Conduct medal, which is forfeit now that he has been dishonourably discharged.
It is an offence to wear medals to which one is not entitled, and I hope he will be charged with unlawfully wearing the two campaign medals. And as he was pushed before he could jump, he should also lose his police pension.
Confirmation if needed the gov give the consumer no choice, and will ramp up the cost in all sectors.
Been living the high life on public money.
As a veteran Hussar at the Battle of Austerlitz I am appalled at this mans brass neck. My wife, who is also a decorated shield maiden at the battle of Stamford Bridge is equally fuming.
I used to work with a bloke who told everyone he was x RN Capt and had the unform to suit. He got caught out when he put the medals on wrong. It is unlawful to do what he did.
Thats the problem - its NOT unlawful !
The Sherlock Holmes is not strong in the Northampton Police…
Why was this police chief not found out after Cressida Dick said every police officers backgrounds were going to be investigated ?
I never used my 2 years national service to get a job with british rail
"Staggering arrogant temerity". What do you expect, he went through Police training.
The Chief Police officer MUST FACE JAIL. He betrayed the officer of Constable yet his life was a lie. Utterly disgraceful.
Bet he still retained his final salary pension.
I'll never understand why someone would fake being a Vetran. For me, being a Vetran is the last thing I'd talk of in conversations yeah some times it does come up but rarely. Its not in my personality to shout about being a Vetran because in most conversations what does it matter? To be honest I feel sorry for those who fake a military pasts because it shows their life is so dull that they have to lie to themselves and fake stuff to feel secure in themselves. I think they need therapy someone talk to I'm serious. I'm not offended just baffled. Lies always get found out eventually especially from those in public office.
When giving evidence or writing a statement for prosecution it is usual to make a preliminary statement outlining one's background, expertise and qualifications to give evidence in the case and also confirm one's good character. This is necessary prerequisite for the Court treating the statement as trustworthy and true. Did he mention a lot of his was fiction? I bet he didn't so is there now a case for perjury? I think there is.
Are you sure they make police officers do that ?
@@timg1246 yes
Makes me sad -I have a real Falklands Conflict medal and commendation for my efforts. Agree with no pension no payoff (his salary was £176,000 !!) I have found a letter from Stephen Mold of Police and Crime Commissioner 2018 saying they had carried out a robust recruitment process and he was the "Right guy" dwelling on his military career etc maybe they have made other mistakes in the past ???
We have a certain son in law ( Jonny ) who is a lowly police officer. He claims he was in the royal corps of engineers. He is as thick as they come and as no qualifications or degrees. He even wrote on his police cv he had been in the royal corps of engineers. One day he will go the same way as this con man hopefully
Amazing it took so long to find out as it takes less than two minutes to find out any service person military record
Nothing new about a LYING COP
You can be sure that, no matter what happens, Gravy train fuel will be protected.
I don’t understand how they didn’t run a VoS[ validation of Service] on him, especially has he was going up the career ladder. Defies believe! How nobody thought he would be too young to of served in the Falklands is beyond me. Every time I upgrade my phone contract they give me a credit check regardless of me being with the same supplier for over 12 years! It’s the old boy network, he’s one of the boys we don’t need to run checks on him! Famous last words, eh? Shame on him, shame! shame! shame!
Believe me,as a retired officer,the senior levels in all police forces live in a world just like Chief Constable Mitty with funny handshakes and rolled up trousers leg to the fore
Make him walk the plank !!
Probably down to Khan
Shows the level of police officers today. This was a senior officer. Wearing medals that you are not entitled to is a criminal offence. Sod the humiliation.
Vanity is such a big thing in the UK, and that is what this is all about in this foolish man. But we have such enormous vanity which is encouraged, medals, titles, honours, the parasitic house of ignoble lords is typical. An unelected body that poses as an upper house in a so called democracy? An old peoples home for politicians to bleed the taxpayer till they die, and even have subsidised retaurants to help eke out their well overpaid allowances, and also the second biggest upper house in the world too!
This is why they say always film the police
So why in his position the security, qualifications and any military careers back checks are not fully completed…..so it’s really the police HR and hiring teams not carrying out the candidates CV checks properly 😮
How do you charge at home if you live in a flat 🤔
Bet he still gets his pension
Let's talk about sunak when he looses he going to california to live in his 7.2 million mansion
After he ripped us off
do you know what DISGUSTS ME immigrants being enrolled in to the police!
While the police refuse to police their own, despite overwhelming evidence of criminality - why would I consent to be policed by them? Mr Peel would have something to say on the subject, I am sure.
If you live in terraced houses you can never guarantee to get your car in front of the house. Living in apartments would be difficult/impossible for charging in many cases. Insurance is very expensive. Depreciation is wicked.
He also has a GSM, what did he get that for?
HAVE YOU NOTICED THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY, WITH NO WHITE LINES…….DONT PLANES FLY ON FRIDAYS?……?
Walter Mitty
I have stated before the police will employ anybody , if you have useless degree , vertically challenged , struggle speaking English , couldn't run 100 metres etc .🧐
He needs to go to prison.
What a tool
He should be charged with deception by obtaining a pecuniary advantage contrary to the Fraud Act 2006, his fingerprints, photograph and DNA sample taken and placed in dock to face the Courts! He should also be charged with misrepresentation in falsely displaying military awards and insignia (armed forces Act 2006) together with the total loss any and all pension entitlements.
Just looked through armed forces Act 2006 - carnt see anything about medals ?
He is legally entitled to his large pension pot so who are the losers ?
No he's NOT. He was there by deception, making that entitlement null and void
he was on £175 k a year he retired for six months and came back on more money
Astonishing.
