A Northamptonshire Police press release published in July stated that he served ''in the Navy for ten years including the Falklands''.<\/p>\n

This was later removed from its website.<\/p>\n

Mr Adderley has also worn a Campaign Service Medal – which is typically awarded for duties in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Following a referral from the local Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner, The Independent Office for\u00a0Police\u00a0Conduct said an ''initial assessment'' was made.<\/p>\n

It is now investigating allegations of potential misrepresentation of his military service as well as communications with the commissioner.<\/p>\n

Mr Adderley could face a gross misconduct board and dismissal.<\/p>\n

What has Nick Adderley said?<\/h2>\n

Responding to the allegations made, Chief Constable Nick Adderley said: ''I have been made aware of a complaint in general terms but have not had any notices served upon me by the IOPC.<\/p>\n

''It is disappointing that someone has leaked such details about what I deem to be a very personal family issue, that I have yet to respond to formally.<\/p>\n

''Consequently I am restricted in what I can say but I have always been keen to respond to such issues directly and openly. Hence it is important that I state for the public record that I am very proud of my Cadet, Royal Navy and Police Service.<\/p>\n

''Coming from a military family, I wear all my medals with pride and have always worn the two medals my brothers gave me to wear when one became critically ill and one emigrated, alongside my own.<\/p>\n

''Having been made aware of this complaint, which has a private family impact upon me personally, I immediately took advice last week regarding the protocol and have changed the side of my chest on which these medals are worn.<\/p>\n

''I look forward to providing the IOPC with a fulsome response at the earliest opportunity and I fully appreciate that they have a job to do.''<\/p>\n
