CC Nick Adderley - Allegations of Fraud by False Representation and Misconduct in Public Office
Dear Independent Office for Police Conduct,
It was widely reported and confirmed by an IOPC press release this inquiry is ongoing.
The case is simple, although its breadth unknown. It centres on whether Mr Adderley misrepresented his military service and an allegation of Misconduct in Public Office. Collaterally a number of police standards of professional behaviour allegations were added.
Full copies and partial extracts of Mr Adderley’s personal statement and CV have been circulated to local and national press outlets respectively. Within them, Mr Adderley claims the following:
- He was a Royal Navy Commander and took command of military personnel during active service
- He studied at Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth
- He studied at Portsmouth University
* The personal statement and CV were distributed to a panel in Northamptonshire who were tasked to determine the preferred candidate for the role of chief constable in 2018. That panel comprised non police personnel.
Could you confirm whether the IOPC has sought to confirm or negate Mr Adderley’s claim with:
- The Royal Navy or Royal Navy Police
- Portsmouth University
NB. I have no wish to know the outcome, merely whether clarification was sought.
I draw your attention to a similar case involving former Supt Mike Martin, convicted in 2014.
Yours faithfully,
William James Crow

Dear William Crow
You have made a request for information relating to an ongoing IOPC independent investigation relating to CC Nick Adderley as detailed in the following media statement; https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/our-wor... . Your request seeks information regarding our investigative actions and processes.
The IOPC does not publish detailed information about ongoing investigations to avoid potential prejudice to the investigation or any resulting proceedings. For the same reasons, and because disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is effectively as if to ‘the world at large’, information from live investigations is usually exempt from disclosure under the FOIA.
We understand the public interest in our work and therefore the IOPC aims to publish an account of its findings at the appropriate time when the investigation and all associated processes and proceedings are complete, in line with our Policy on the publication of final investigation reports and report summaries : https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/publica... You should therefore continue to review our website for updates regarding this matter.
If you require a formal refusal notice under the FOIA please notify us.
Yours sincerely
