Faked resume leads to dismissal of local police chief in England
In a probe into the purported military history of a police chief from South England, it's been uncovered that his claims of service in the Royal Naval College, earning military medals, advisory roles - all bogus. Contrary to his assertions, he never fought in the Falklands War as he was merely 15 at the time. His policing career has subsequently been terminated.
The police chief of Northamptonshire County found himself out of a job due to serious misconduct. Nick Adderley deceitfully informed a "Marinestory" and even donned a military medal that wasn't rightfully his, as per the commission's findings. He boasted about participating in the war against Argentina for the Falkland Islands in 1982, yet at that juncture, Adderley was a teenager of 15.
The case was brought to light when the police chief was spotted in a photo adorned with the South Atlantic Medal, given to British military personnel and civilians for involvement in the South Atlantic conflict. Adderley's account of receiving the award from his brother who immigrated to Australia was refuted: his brother had only set foot on the Falkland Islands following the conclusion of the conflict.
Sink of Lies and Faked Resume
In his resume and 2018 application for the position of Chief Constable, Adderley falsely declared a decade-long stint in the Royal Navy. In reality, he served for only two years, seemingly including his time with the Sea Cadets. Additionally, he claimed to have graduated from the esteemed Britannia Royal Naval College - his application was denied. Furthermore, he stated that he had worked as a military mediator in Haiti. However, he had never even stepped foot in the country.
The panel deemed all accusations to be substantiated. Adderley displayed "quite outstanding shamelessness" and had been arrogantly lying for years. The dishonored Chief Constable is barred from rejoining the police force.
