A FORMER senior GMP officer has been sacked as chief constable of Northamptonshire after lying about his military history.
Nick Adderley, who was found to have committed gross misconduct, said his 32-year policing career is now over.
He also apologised "unreservedly" for the "hurt" he has caused to veterans of the armed forces.
Mr Adderley exaggerated his naval rank, length of service and achievements when applying to become chief constable, a panel ruled yesterday.
Mr Adderley "built a military naval legend that wasn't true", the misconduct hearing was told.
It included implying that he had served in the Falklands War, despite being only 15 when the conflict broke out in 1982.
The 57-year-old was previously the head of GMP's Tameside division.
