The Northamptonshire chief constable faces allegations he misrepresented his Royal Navy career.
A misconduct hearing into allegations Northamptonshire's chief constable misrepresented his military service has been postponed at the 11th hour.Its chairman, Callum Cowx, said the postponement was because insufficient time had been allocated to properly hear the case.The proceedings against Mr Adderley followed an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct .
Mr Cowx, himself a former Royal Navy officer, said he had made the decision to hold the hearing in private following representations.In a statement, he said: "Following a case management meeting today the legally qualified chair has taken the decision to adjourn the accelerated misconduct hearing for Chief Constable Adderley."
The police watchdog has also been conducting a criminal investigation and said it would then make a decision whether to refer the case to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider if crimes had been committed. In a statement last year, Mr Adderley said he had always worn his own medals alongside two medals his brothers gave him to wear when one became critically ill and one moved overseas.despite never achieving that rank.
