Wow! Walter Mitty Chief Constable Instantly Sacked.

I suspect merlothtan that their contributions intothe pension fund are returned to them. Whether with interest based on the interest theywould have earned if they had put it in the building society, I am not sure.

Evidence has been passed to the CPS who will decide whether to prosecute.

An ex-wife reported him. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I wonder how many palms were greased for him to get away with his lies originally?

why should any hand shave been greased for him to get away with his lies. Quite simply, no one ever chacked on him.

As a successful career policeman applying for a top job, it never occurred to anyone to check whether any of his medals and other signifiers of merit would not be genuine.

Mr Adderley is also under investigation at his former force, Staffordshire Police, over allegations of fraud in relation to the maintenance of police vehicles.

I asked Google, which confirms MOnica is correct. He keeps his pension. I’m inclined to agree with MOnica that being sacked and exposed is adequate punishment.

I agree too, let him keep his pension. He has been sacked and embarrassed, punishment enough.
I see no need for further punishment he has worked and risen in the ranks, and his pension should not be taken into account.

Oh Sarnia, thank you for your post. It made me ( an ex wife) smile this morning.

One of the lies was that he served in a specific conflict. But anyone who knew his DoB would have been able to work out he was only 15 then! Does anyone else think that it was a strange lie?

It would have taken a eagle eye to spot the Falklands medal that’s why it took so long to spot the fraud, wasn’t it his ex wife that alerted everyone.

Because like many people inpower in this country, and others, once they are up at the top, they think they can get away with anything, and no one will notice.

As an ex-wife (twice!) I am with you here.
