The ongoing criminal investigation into Northamptonshire’s suspended chief constable, Nick Adderley, has now expanded to include a second force, Staffordshire Police. Adderley, who served as the assistant chief constable in Staffordshire from 2015 to 2018, is facing allegations of fraud linked to the maintenance of police vehicles during his tenure.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) officially notified Adderley and another former Staffordshire police officer of the investigation on February 20, serving them with misconduct papers. This development comes as Adderley is already scheduled to face a misconduct hearing in Northamptonshire in May for breaches of professional standards of honesty and integrity.
