It was while the chief constable took a temporary retirement
The former temporary chief constable of Northamptonshire Police will receive more than £19,000 for the 33 days he spent in the post, draft accounts show. Paul Gibson led Northamptonshire Police from 27 February until 31 March while chief constable Nick Adderley took a temporary retirement so he would not be penalised by police pension rules for signing a new contract.
Responding to the LDRS' question on whether the payment is value for public money, the county’s police, fire and crime commissioner Stephen Mold said: “I take my responsibility to appoint a chief constable very seriously, and it was very important that in Nick Adderley’s short break in service, Northamptonshire Police had an effective and visionary leader.
It is listed in Northamptonshire Police's draft accounts under "total costs". The office "does not anticipate" the figure will change but it was estimated and provided by Derbyshire Police, which is his employer.
