A former police chief accused of fraud and misconduct in public office faces a trial in 2027.
Former Northamptonshire Police chief constable Nick Adderley, 59, is accused of making false claims of being a decorated Navy officer and lying about his educational achievements on his CV while applying to work for the police.
At Southwark Crown Court on Monday, a provisional trial date was set for December 6 2027 by Judge Tony Baumgartner.
Adderley, who did not attend the court hearing, was due to enter pleas, but his arraignment was delayed until a provisional date of February 20 next year.
The former police chief allegedly falsely claimed he was a former lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy, had served in the Falklands War and was entitled to wear associated service medals.
Adderley is accused of committing the offences between 2018 and 2024, allegedly making the claims on his CV during his bid to become Northamptonshire Police's chief constable in June 2018.
He is also accused of making a false written statement in evidence.
