Northamptonshire police chief could face criminal charges over 'misrepresenting military service'

A chief constable could face criminal charges after an independent investigation found that he may have misled people about his military service.

The police watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct has been examining allegations that the suspended chief constable of Northamptonshire Police, Nick Adderley, misrepresented his military career.- at which time he would have been just 15 years old.On Wednesday, the IOPC revealed that it had concluded its investigation, which had resulted in a file of evidence being sent to the Crown Prosecution Service .

As well as expressing disappointment at what he said he were "leaked" details of a "very personal family issue", he said he had changed the side of his chest on which he wore his brothers' medals after seeking advice. IOPC regional director Emily Barry said: “Following careful investigation, we have now submitted an evidential report to the Crown Prosecution Service. It will be for the CPS to consider whether to bring any criminal charge.

“A referral to the CPS is made when the IOPC investigation indicates that a criminal offence may have been committed."The CPS will decide whether charges should be brought, based on the test set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.”Want a quick and expert briefing on the biggest news stories?
