Police Chief Dismissed for Wearing Falklands War Medal

A police chief constable has been dismissed for gross misconduct after it was discovered that he wore a Falklands war medal despite being only 15 years old at the time of the conflict.

He falsely implied that he had served in the Falklands war. An investigation revealed that Adderley had exaggerated his military background with "arrogant temerity," leading to his dismissal without notice. He has also been placed on the police barred list. The hearing concluded that Adderley's actions constituted gross misconduct, and he was found guilty of deceiving others about his military service.

Officers disciplined for misconduct in case of serial rapist David Carrick

Two police officers have faced disciplinary action for their misconduct in an investigation that allowed serial rapist David Carrick to remain free for an additional five years before finally being arrested. Carrick, a former Metropolitan police officer, carried out a campaign of terror and humiliation against women for 17 years, starting in 2003. The negligent investigation into Carrick's crimes has raised serious concerns about the handling of the case by law enforcement. The officers involved in the botched inquiry failed to apprehend Carrick, allowing him to continue his heinous acts unchecked for an extended period. The disciplinary action taken against the officers highlights the importance of thorough and diligent police work in ensuring that dangerous criminals are brought to justice promptly. The victims of Carrick's crimes deserve accountability and justice for the trauma they endured at the hands of this serial rapist.
