Nick Adderley, a police chief from Northamptonshire, is set to undergo a private gross misconduct hearing after being accused of wearing a Falklands War medal, despite only being 15 at the time of the conflict. Adderley, who is suspended from his position, faces allegations of misrepresenting his military service by wearing the South Atlantic Medal at various events.
The decision to conduct the hearing in private was announced by Stephen Mold, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, on Friday evening. The hearing, scheduled for Wednesday, February 28, will be overseen by an independent panel and subject to reporting restrictions.
