Career

Adderley joined the Royal Navy in 1981. He then joined Cheshire Constabulary[2][3] as a Police Constable and worked his way up to the rank of Superintendent and left the Constabulary in 2010.

He then took a break from the Police Service but continued public sector work in the Home Office for two years, then joined Greater Manchester Police (GMP) at his previous police rank of Superintendent.[4]

Within the GMP, he was promoted to Chief superintendent in August 2011, just over a year after he returned to policing.[5][6][7] In September 2013, he became the territorial commander of the North Manchester Division;[8] although keeping the same rank it was a more senior role having over 1400 officers covering the City of Manchester, Cheetham Hill, Blackley, Newton Heath, Moston and surrounding areas.

In 2015 he was promoted to Assistant chief constable at Staffordshire Police after completing his Strategic Command Course.[9][10]

As of 6 August 2018, Adderley became Chief Constable of Northamptonshire Police.[11][12]

He is also the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) National Lead for Disclosure and Safeguarding as well as Motorcycling and Criminal Use of Motorcycles.[4]

In 2019 Adderley was involved in the investigation of the death of Harry Dunn in a motor-cycle crash, where a suspect, the wife of a U.S. intelligence officer, claimed diplomatic immunity and left the United Kingdom. The suspect has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and extradition proceedings have begun.

In April 2020, he was rebuked by Home Secretary Priti Patel after controversial comments regarding his department's response to coronavirus received wide media attention. He had stated at a press conference that while his police would not, "at this stage, start to marshal supermarkets and [check] the items in baskets and trolleys to see whether it's a legitimate necessary item", that if people did not heed his warnings, "we will start to do that". Patel declared that his comments had been "inappropriate". Adderley subsequently backed away from the threatened policing shift.[13][14]
