I’m in a bit of a hard-bop phase, so I’m listening to a lot of Art Blakey, a lot of Cannonball Adderley.

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

The BBC has been able to obtain independent confirmation Mr Adderley is one of two former Staffordshire officers served with misconduct papers.

Mr Adderley was due to attend a gross misconduct hearing last week over allegations he had misrepresented his service in the Royal Navy.

Mr Adderley was confirmed as Northamptonshire's chief constable in July 2018 having served as an assistant chief constable in Staffordshire with responsibility for the county's uniformed local policing teams.
